08 Mar, 2021
Today, more than any time in the history of this region, the need for innovative and collaborative solutions is urgent. We are therefore pleased to share with humanitarians worldwide this latest addition to our Knowlege Series products, which encapsulates a variety of lessons learned and best practices in the gathering of gender-based violence data to improve humanitarian responses. The information presented in this guide is based on years of experience in the development of Voices from Syria — one of the most lauded in-depth analyses of gender-based violence in a humanitarian context, and one that has been hailed as a global best practice. We hope the insights provided will help inform and shape similar initiatives in other contexts around the world and to inspire new, innovative approaches to GBV data analysis.
