The innovative partnership between UNFPA, Komaya International Foundation (KIF) and the World Karate Federation (WKF) was born from the realization of the power of sports such as Karate, and how it can positively impact gender based violence. The partnership aims to develop joint actions using Karate as a platform to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and harmful practices by raising awareness of the role that Karate plays in preventing and responding to gender-based violence and rolling out gender-based violence prevention and response actions and sensitization during WKF events and tournaments. Together, UNFPA and the federation is promoting Karate activities to prevent and respond to gender-based violence through global networks and joint advocacy events along with communicating, exchanging ideas, and seeking other areas of cooperation around the prevention and response to gender-based violence through Karate.
