Empower: Preventing VAWG in Acute Emergencies

Thoughtful, transformative GBV prevention programming can be designed and implemented from the outset of humanitarian emergencies if we use a feminist lens to inform programming.  Join the GBV AoR Community of Practice as they host the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to present:

EMPOWER: Preventing violence against women and girls in acute emergencies. 
 

EMPOWER names strategies— that fall and are sequenced along a pathway to prevention, providing a framework for GBV prevention programming that is both relevant within the first 12 weeks of an emergency and builds a foundation for longer term prevention strategies. It emphasizes process and approach to programming over outcomes recognizing that accountability to and empowerment of women and girls in the determination, design and implementation of programming is working on the pathway to prevention. The webinar will introduce the new resource package which includes:
 

·        BEST PRACTICE PRINCIPLES in prevention representative of the GBV sector and broader VAWG actors’ collective experience to date.

·        CRITICAL ACTIONS putting into practice all eight best practice principles and how to apply the three most relevant prevention approaches in acute emergencies

·        TOOLS to facilitate women-led decision-making related to the design of prevention strategies and supervision tools

The COP will host three webinars in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. Please register at the links under each date.
