Gender-Based Violence and Child Protection Field Cooperation Framework is Out!
06 Jan, 2022
Recognising the interconnected needs of child and adolescent survivors, it is evident that Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Child Protection actors have overlapping responsibilities in regard to response, mitigation, prevention and preparedness. Actors must cooperate to generate better knowledge, develop skills and expand resources. Both GBV and Child Protection minimum standards reiterate the need for intersectoral cooperation. Increasingly complex emergencies require the collaboration between different disciplines to understand and address new and growing needs affecting girls and boys.1 Changes in the humanitarian landscape means that GBV and Child Protection response, mitigation and prevention will be led and implemented by diversified, local actors. Local actors need support to take on leadership roles in leading and coordinating response. Local women and youth organisations are instrumental for the practical response to the needs of child and adolescent survivors. The role of GBV ...
Finding Ways and Means to Deliver Gender-based Violence Programming in Hostile Environments - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2023
16 Oct, 2023
This learning brief discusses a range of strategies and methods humanitarian actors can use to support and sustain GBV response and prevention programming in hostile contexts. It outlines what ‘hostile contexts’ refers to in this paper, and why it is important for GBV program managers and service providers to be able to identify and adapt to rapid or incremental increases in hostility in humanitarian environments, which are likely to adversely impact the implementation of GBV prevention and response programming. The paper discusses some of the risks women and girls face in these high-risk environments and concludes with several key considerations for GBV specialists.

Elrha is a global charity that finds solutions to complex humanitarian problems through research and innovation. Elrha identified a knowledge gap in good practices and innovation for how people with disabilities and older people are included in gender-based violence interventions in humanitarian contexts. To support a new area of focus under their Humanitarian Innovation Fund on Disability and Older Age Inclusion, Elrha commissioned an independent rapid review to review the inclusion of people with disabilities and older people in humanitarian GBV interventions.
Key Considerations at the Intersection of Disasters, Climate Change and Gender-based Violence in the Asia-Pacific Region - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2025
14 Oct, 2025
This learning paper explores the links between climate, GBV, and disasters in Asia and the Pacific and considers key actions GBV specialists working in settings affected by climate change and disasters can take. Drawing from a desk review of relevant resources, it begins with a brief overview of the intersections of GBV, climate, and disasters, highlighting evidence that women and girls are often the most negatively affected by climate change and disasters yet the most excluded from climate action and disaster risk reduction (DRR), preparedness, response, and recovery. It then explores key considerations linked to climate action, with a summary of potential efforts GBV actors can take in climate change mitigation, climate adaptation and resilience, and supporting shifts from carbon-intensive economies to more sustainable use of natural resources. The paper goes on to consolidate recommendations for priority interventions to address GBV at three critical stages of disasters: risk reduct...
Leveraging cash assistance in GBV case management as a tool in Moldova's Ukrainian refugee response
07 Mar, 2024
In 2023, as part of the Ukrainian refugee response in Moldova, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) conducted a pilot to integrate cash assistance into gender-based violence (GBV) case management. Targeting GBV survivors and those at risk, including Ukrainian refugees and vulnerable Moldovans, the program aimed to mitigate GBV risks and enhance GBV response by addressing economic barriers that hinder survivors from escaping abusive situations and accessing life-saving GBV services. Two modalities were utilized: one-off emergency cash assistance and recurring cash assistance for up to three months. The pilot, conducted from January to December 2023, benefited 224 individuals. Results were shared in a round-table discussion involving the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, civil society organizations, and UN agencies to advocate for continued use of cash assistance in GBV case management. Ultimately, 98% of respondents reported that the cash assistance helped t...

Good practices from across the Asia Pacific Region have seen these recommendations being put into action and six weeks on, due to the scale and rapidly changing nature of the pandemic, it was seen as crucial to continue to document evidence of gender impacts across Asia Pacific and to update analysis and recommendations.
KURULUŞLAR ARASI ASGARİ STANDARTLAR Acil Durum Programlamada Toplumsal Cinsiyete Dayalı Şiddet İçin - GBV AoR 2019
27 Jul, 2023
TCDŞ, uluslararası insan hakları hukukunu, insancıl hukuku ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği ilkelerini ihlal eder. Uluslararası insancıl hukuk, çatışma zamanlarında kadınlar ve kız çocukları da dâhil olmak üzere siviller için koruma sağlar. Müteselsil BM Güvenlik Konseyi kararları, cinsel şiddetin bir savaş silahı olarak kullanılmasını özellikle yasaklamıştır. Kız çocukları ve kadınların insan haklarını ve temel özgürlüklerini tam olarak kullanmaları, sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve barış için bir ön koşuldur. İnsani yardım aktörlerinin, TCDŞ’yi önlemek ve TCDŞ’ye müdahale etmek için etik bir zorunluluğu vardır. Bu şiddeti önleme ve şiddete müdahale etme görevimizi yerine getirmemek ya da en kötüsü, riski artıracak şekilde insani destek sağlamak ahlaki olarak kabul edilemez. TCDŞ’nin önlenmesi ve azaltılması ve buna müdahale, insani yardım ortamlarında hayat kurtaran müdahaleler olarak sınıflandırılır. İnsani müdahalede yer alan tüm kurumların, TCDŞ’den etkilenenleri koruma sorumluluğu var...
