UNFPA CVA Activities in Bangladesh
30 Aug, 2021
UNFPA found that facility-based deliveries by women in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar were low (35%), which is linked to increased maternal mortality. In addition, undernourishment among pregnant women in this community increased their risk of poor pregnancy outcomes such as obstructed labor and premature and low birth weight newborns. From September 2018 to August 2019, UNFPA provided vouchers to encourage antenatal care visits and facility-based deliveries. Participatory assessments and feedback mechanisms, financial risk mitigation such as the use of QR codes for voucher tracking, and ongoing outreach by community health workers contributed to the success of the voucher assistance as part of a broader humanitarian sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programme.
REGA Review: Abridged Report - April 2023
23 May, 2024
Since the establishment of the Regional Emergency GBV Advisors (REGA) structure as an emergency mechanism in 2014, it has been challenging to ensure the systematic collection and analysis of evidence to assess its impact and relevance - beyond the number of deployments or the size and composition of the teams. A lack of qualitative evidence for the sustainability of the deployments measured in the extent to which their work has been capitalised on, replicated and sustainably absorbed by country offices, field GBV sub-clusters and UNFPA Regional Offices has also been noted. In addition, the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) expertise gap in operations seems to have grown between 2014 and 2019, which was reflected by the commitment in the 2019 REGA Letter of Intent to expand the composition of the REGA teams by adding new areas of GBV expertise (Regional Coordination and Information Management) to provide wider support to country operations. Nonetheless, there has been little joint ana...

Preventing and Responding to Gender-based Violence in Faith-based Communities: An Annotated Bibliography of Recommended Resources - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022
11 Jan, 2022
The annotated bibliography explores these and other approaches. However, only a small number of evaluated GBV programs are available. In addition, there is limited information available about how religious leaders and communities work with perpetrators of GBV, or about addressing GBV against marginalized women and girls, including violence against women and girls based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression (SOGIE). Moreover, while many resources take an interfaith perspective, specific examples or details often focus on Christianity and Islam. Less information was found on other religions. This bibliography does not include resources exploring the role of faith in perpetrating and perpetuating GBV, although some of the resources do address this as well as describing prevention and response.
