General GBV risk mitigation messages and recommendations Gaza response October 2023

21 Oct, 2023

Consultations with ALL affected groups, particularly women and girls in all of their diversity, remains critical even in emergency response. Do not rely only on information received from male community leaders. This tip sheet provides basic information on undertaking safe consultations with women & girls in emergency contexts. There is likely to be a significant number of unaccompanied minors arriving in the shelters which will have different/diverse needs from adults and different from each other based on gender, age range, etc.  Women-headed households are also likely to be large in number and will also likely have different needs, barriers, challenges, etc. than intact family structures, as will persons living with disabilities. Ensure all such groups are represented in consultations and program planning.  Some suggested key areas of inquiry for consultations are included below. Sector-specific areas of inquiry are available in the IASC GBV Guidelines.

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...

UNFPA CVA Activities in Palestine

30 Aug, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the risk of gender-based violence (GBV) for women and girls in Palestine. Women reported to UNFPA that diminished economic opportunities and financial stress significantly contributed to this increased risk. In response, UNFPA provided vouchers to respond to the urgent needs of economically vulnerable families and women at risk of GBV in Gaza and East Jerusalem. Beneficiaries reported high satisfaction rates in the post- distribution monitoring. In Gaza, 97% of beneficiaries reported that the program had a positive impact on their psychological well-being.

Directives de l’UNFPA : Comment élaborer et mettre en place l’assistance en espèces pour la gestion de cas de VBG

13 Jun, 2023

Les dispositions relatives aux modalités d’utilisation de l’aide financière dans le cadre de la gestion des cas de VBG doivent être soigneusement étudiées afin d’atténuer les risques associés et d’éviter les conséquences négatives involontaires de l’aide financière.
