“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.

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.

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 ...
