Considered a core element of GBV programming in the GBViE Minimum Standards, Women and Girls’ Safe Spaces (WGSS) are a structured place where women’s and adolescent girls’ physical and emotional safety is respected and where they are supported through processes of empowerment.
The Women's Refugee Commission and Mercy Corps’ Energy in Emergencies: Reducing Risks of Gender-based Violence (EEMRG) project, funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, aims to improve safety and opportunities for women and girls through inclusive access to energy in emergencies.
This Learning Paper gives a brief snapshot of psychosocial support (PSS) and gender-based violence (GBV), including the types of PSS and PSS best practice. It also highlights the new Inter- Agency Minimum Standards on Gender-based Violence in Emergencies Programming, showing why PSS is an essential component of GBV response and why PSS interventions should take a
survivor-centered approach.
Case studies from Concern Worldwide Lebanon, Trócaire and World Vision offer concrete examples of the current work and challenges related to working in GBV response and PSS.
Join the GBViE Helpdesk specialist Sophie Read-Hamilton on December 11th for a GBV AoR webinar on the issue of technology in GBV prevention, mitigation and response in emergencies.
