The new GBV AoR Helpdesk learning series addresses the issue of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) affecting women and girls in humanitarian settings. The three-part resource looks at the different forms of online violence, suggests actions for GBV specialists and also policy recommendations for humanitarian organisations, donors and technology companies.
The Global 16 Days Campaign was initiated 30 years ago by the Center for Women's Global Leadership to galvanize women and allies worldwide to raise awareness about violence against women and demand that governments do their part to end it. Since then, more than 6,000 organizations and other entities, including governments, have used this campaign in over 180 countries to break the silence about many different forms of GBV and demand public action. UNFPA has been a leading voice against GBV and is aiming for its eradication by 2030.
Given the ongoing pandemic challenges and restrictions, many organisations working on gender or violence prevention are adapting their programming from face-to-face to online or other modalities. Through a moderated discussion, this webinar will share lessons learned from two "virtual" programmes - myPlan and Parenting for Lifelong Health - about how to effectively design and test content and delivery modalities, recruit and retain participants, mitigate risks of harm, and monitor and evaluate their success.
As the lead of the Call to Action on Protection from GBV in humanitarian emergencies, the Government of Denmark hosts this side event as the number of displaced persons continues to increase worldwide along with the need for protection and assistance. Today one in 33 people needs humanitarian assistance, and one in 95 people globally is now forcibly displaced.
We are happy to invite you to the launch of our GBV AoR five-year strategy at a side event during next week's Call to Action Network Meeting.
The event will focus on the new strategic priorities and our vision for addressing GBV
in emergencies through a coordination based, lessons learned approach and adaptations required to effectively operate and address emerging issues, new needs and circumstances.
