“For me, the justice is the truth”: Strengthening Access to Justice for GBV Survivors
“For me, the justice is the truth”[1]: Strengthening Access to Justice for GBV Survivors Access to justice is a human right and is also key to the realization of other rights, including the right to live free from violence, discrimination and inequality. Upholding women and girls’ rights to access justice after GBV is a one element of multisectoral GBV programming in emergencies. Minimum actions for promoting justice and legal aid for GBV survivors are set in the Interagency Minimum Standards for Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Programming as minimum standard number 10. Survivor-centered justice systems offer a range of potential benefits for GBV survivors. They can provide protection and remedy, and support healing and recovery of GBV survivors and their families. Yet, in most humanitarian contexts, it is challenging to seek justice for GBV through formal or informal mechanisms - let alone survivor-centered justice. Many of the barr...
MS 3: Staff Care and Support: Combatting burnout and vicarious traumatization for GBV staff in the time of COVID
MS 3: Staff Care and Support: Combatting burnout and vicarious traumatization for GBV staff in the time of COVID Effective GBV programming depends on putting together a dedicated staff[1]who have specialized knowledge, skills and attitudes. Working with GBV survivors can be particularly stressful and it is common for staff to experience everyday stress, cumulative stress, burnout, and critical incident stress. Vicarious/secondary trauma, typically a cumulative process that builds over time after prolonged exposure to other people’s suffering, is also a risk and may contribute to a deterioration of staff morale and increased turnover in the GBV staff. In this minimum standard, it is recommended that GBV coordinators and managers should be aware of their staff’s stress levels, and establish routine mechanisms for acknowledging and supporting staff safety and well-being. Over time,without appropriate support and supervision, GBV staff may begin to feel overwhelmed and tired, and ...

Inclusive Approaches to GBV Prevention and Response in Humanitarian Emergencies
A conversation to learn from women at the frontlines of humanitarian action and disability rights advocacy Inclusive Approaches to GBV Prevention and Response in Humanitarian Emergencies Side Event in the Margins of the 13th Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities For years, people with disabilities have been excluded from programs and services designed to prevent and respond to GBV in humanitarian emergencies. With the onset of COVID-19, women and girls with disabilities are being left out and left behind in even greater numbers. This event brings together women who are addressing the intersection between gender, disability, GBV prevention and humanitarian response in Cameroon, South Sudan, and Uganda to share their firsthand experiences and recommendations to ensure we deliver on our collective commitment to make access to GBV services and programs available to all on an equal basis. Closed captioning will be provided duri...
Introducing the Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for GBV Programming # 16 Days of Action against Gender-based Violence
All humanitarian response agencies have a responsibility to protect those affected by GBV but GBV response often requires specialized programs. In order to support actors and agencies implementing GBV-specialized programming in emergencies, the Interagency Minimum Standards for GBV in Emergencies Programming (Minimum Standards) were developed with the to establish a common understanding of what constitutes minimum GBV prevention and response programming in emergencies. “Minimum” means “of adequate quality” (for the purposes of the resource, adequate quality means (1) reflecting good practice and (2) not causing harm). As such, each Standard represents common agreement on what needs to be achieved for each specific programmatic element to be of adequate quality. The actions outlined in the Minimum Standards apply to all actors working to deliver GBV-specialized programming and coordination across humanitarian crises - including for migration contexts and for refugee setting...
