USAID’s Collective Action to Reduce Gender-Based Violence (CARE-GBV) has shared a how-to note and infographic to support USAID staff and implementing partners who have a role in GBV programming to understand how programs can achieve a survivor-centered approach. 

A survivor-centered approach is the hallmark of quality GBV programming and promotes the dignity, rights, agency, and empowerment of survivors of GBV. This approach is implemented by keeping survivors safe, protecting confidentiality, demonstrating respect for survivor’s dignity and self-determination, and practicing nondiscrimination.
