International Women's Day solidarity Space and Discussion on the State of Women in Humanitarian Emergencies
International Women's Day has been observed since the early 1900s - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. Women's oppression and inequality spurred women to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. Learn more about the history of International Women's Day here. On International Women’s Day, March 8 2023, the GBV AOR Community of Practice would like to invite you to a solidarity space and discussion on the status of women in humanitarian emergencies in 2023. We'd like to spend an hour putting our attention on how the conflicts that we are responding to are affecting women, particularly women human rights defenders.

Our intention is to create a space of feminist solidarity on Zoom to discuss and support each other and refle...
Orientaciones del UNFPA: Cómo diseñar y establecer la asistencia en efectivo en la gestión de casos de VBG
15 Mar, 2023
Es necesario analizar cuidadosamente las disposiciones relativas a cuándo y cómo utilizar la asistencia en efectivo como instrumento en la gestión de casos de VBG con el fin de mitigar cualesquiera riesgos asociados y evitar consecuencias negativas indeseadas de la asistencia en efectivo. Por consiguiente, estas Orientaciones tienen como fin orientar y apoyar a los profesionales del UNFPA que trabajan en el ámbito de la VBG y la asistencia en efectivo para que evalúen, diseñen, implementen e integren de manera segura y eficiente la asistencia en efectivo en la programación de gestión de casos de VBG. Las Orientaciones son el resultado de los extensos comentarios proporcionados por destinatarias del efectivo, los trabajadores sociales y los socios implementadores sobre el terreno. Para ejemplos de la integración por parte del UNFPA de la asistencia en efectivo en los servicios de gestión de casos de VBG, véanse los siguientes informes: Transferencias en efecti...
An overview of gender-based violence risks in the 2023 Syria earthquake response - UNFPA 2023
20 Mar, 2023
In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Syria on February 6, 2023, thousands of people have moved to collective shelters to seek temporary refuge. To date, according to local and government sources, about 6,000 people have been killed and more than 12,000 injured across Syria. Based on the available data and initial assessments and observations, most crisis-affected people in collective shelters are women and children. These shelters lack basic facilities, including gender-segregated latrines and women and men are often sheltered in the same room, without partitions. These living conditions significantly increase the risk of gender-based violence (GBV) incidents. This document provides an overview of the initial GBV risk mitigation issues that are being identified through assessments, monitoring, and direct observation of the earthquake response. It also serves as a basis for some of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) system-wide scale-up operational be...
IN THE AFTERMATH Gender Considerations in Assessments of Syrian Regions Affected by the 2023 Earthquake - UNFPA 2023
20 Mar, 2023
On 6 February 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake and multiple severe aftershocks struck Syria and Turkey, affecting multiple governorates including Idlib, Aleppo, Lattakia, and Hama. Prior to the earthquake, 15.3 million people were estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance throughout Syria. For most Syrians, this earthquake only compounds existing suffering; 15 March marks 12 years since the start of the conflict which has caused massive displacement, economic collapse, and widespread violence. With approximately 1.9 million people living in around 1,430 camps or self-settled sites in the north-west of Syria (NWS), with 80 percent (1.5 million) being women and children. Syria remains the world's largest internal displacement crisis. The earthquakes have caused new internal displacement movements and at least 86,000 people were reportedly newly displaced since the earthquake happened. ‘Women and girls are disproportionately affected by crises in comparison to their male counter...
Cash within GBV Case Management for Women and Adolescent Girls in Colombia
30 Mar, 2023
In 2021–2022, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Colombia piloted the integration of cash assistance as a tool within gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response programming in five departments in Colombia (La Guajira, Norte de Santander, Arauca, Chocó and Nariño). Unrestricted cash transfers valued at US$77 were provided for either one or three months to women enrolled in GBV case management. UNFPA and the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) conducted a mixed methods evaluation of the cash assistance pilot with a focus on protection outcomes. The evaluation analyzed the impacts of the pilot on 200 women receiving cash assistance in three departments (La Guajira, Norte de Santander, and Arauca), where UNFPA cash recipients were predominantly Venezuelan (77%), and most of the Venezuelan cash recipients had arrived in Colombia within the past five years (65%). The mixed-methods evaluation was inten...

11 Apr, 2023
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is considered one of the world’s largest, with over 23 million people – 75 percent of the population — in need of humanitarian assistance.
