The Gender-Based Violence Tracker: Shining a light on the gender-based violence response in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Tue May 18, 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM CDT / Wed May 19, 12:30 AM - 1:00 AM Your local time (30 Min) The Gender-Based Violence Tracker: Shining a light on the gender-based violence response in the Democratic Republic of Congo The global response to sexual violence in conflict settings is limited by the justifiable reluctance of survivors to come forward. When survivors do come forward, health systems in conflict settings are unable to capture actionable data to guide a multi-sector response. The result is that even the most basic questions about demand for post-rape care in conflict settings are unanswered: How many survivors are there? Where are people seeking care? Where are mass violence events occurring? Is sexual violence increasing or decreasing? The inability to answer these questions results in an insufficient acute emergency response and an inability to tailor, and then measure, the impact of interventions d...

Responding to violence against women based on their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions – an annotated bibliography of resources - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2021
13 May, 2021
Responding to violence against women based on their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions – an annotated bibliography of resources All women and girls face oppression, discrimination and marginalization based on gender inequality, but not all women and girls experience oppression and inequality in a homogeneous way. Oppression may be compounded by their sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity. Despite there being a broad understanding that women and girls with diverse SOGIEs are at heightened risk of violence due to multiple and intersecting factors, there is limited evidence and documented practice of responses to this violence. This learning brief assembles resources regarding response that originate from a wide pool of actors including UN agencies, INGOs, World Bank and other Non-humanitarian sources.
