Annotated Bibliography: Stigma and Gender-Based Violence - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2025
14 Aug, 2025
Stigma plays a powerful and often overlooked role in shaping the experiences of survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). This annotated bibliography explores available evidence on how stigma impacts survivors and contributes to the persistence and normalization of GBV in emergency contexts. The first section presents research in terms of “levels”, or sites, where GBV-related stigma occurs, from GBV survivors’ own internalized stigma, to institutional stigma (particularly in relation to GBV service providers), to societal-level stigma that reflects and reinforces stigmatizing social norms. The bibliography then offers a section on frameworks and models for understanding and measuring stigma and concludes with a section on programmatic guidance on GBV-related stigma-reduction strategies.

Guidance Note - Harnessing Technology to Prevent, Mitigate and Respond to GBViE, Helpdesk
06 Nov, 2019
This paper focusses on the issue of technology in GBV prevention, mitigation and response in emergencies and aims to improve knowledge and understanding of good practices and lessons learned in harnessing technology to improve efforts to address GBV in humanitarian action. The paper was first published in 2019. The information and analysis were developed through review of recent literature and evidence on the use of technology-related innovations in GBV programming in humanitarian and non-humanitarian contexts, semi-structured interviews and correspondence with technology, GBViE and other specialists, and analysis of case studies collated based on a framework for enquiry. The paper was updated in December 2021 with a review of the latest literature and evidence to reflect recent developments in technology and GBV, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
