ҐЕНДЕРНО ЗУМОВЛЕНЕ НАСИЛЬСТВО В УКРАЇНІ
20 Jun, 2022
Військове вторгнення Росії 24 лютого 2022 року стало шоком для країни та світу (CARE, 2022 р.) і створює значні ризики (включаючи ризик ҐЗН) для постраждалого населення України. Урядова уповноважена з прав людини та Міністерство внутрішніх справ України повідомили про випадки зґвалтування та сексуального насильства на непідконтрольних Уряду територіях. Організація «Human Rights Watch» зафіксувала «очевидні воєнні злочини», включаючи зґвалтування, на підконтрольних Росії територіях, а представники/-ці місцевої влади в Бучі (Київська область) повідомили про виявлення місць масового поховання мирного населення, яке, як стверджується, було вбито російськими військами. Генеральний секретар ООН і Верховний комісар ООН з прав людини закликали до незалежного розслідування цих повідомлень (UNFPA, 5 квітня 2022 р.). Після восьми років збройного конфлікту – спричиненого вторгненням Росії в Крим у 2014 році – гуманітарна криза в Україні стала затяжною (OCHA, 2022 р.). Після вторгнення в лютому 202...
Gender-Based Violence Secondary Data Review: Ukraine - GBV AoR 2022
18 May, 2022
Multiple forms of GBV are being reported, with particularly high insecurity and risk for women and girls on the move, at border crossing points and transit/collective centres, and in bomb shelters. This includes reports of intimate partner violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, sexual violence (including conflict-related sexual violence), and economic abuse. There is a high risk of trafficking for sexual exploitation at borders where registration is patchy, little control of documents, and young women are often not accompanied by other family member.

Brief Guidance Note: Risk Analysis to Promote Safe Implementation of GBV Response and Prevention Programming - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022
13 Dec, 2022
This guidance note provides basic information on how to conduct risk analyses for gender-based violence (GBV) programming. A programmatic risk analysis is useful as it considers some of the essential features that should already be in place, or planned for, when designing and implementing GBV response or prevention programming to ensure safety. This guidance first provides a brief discussion of risk analyses for response and prevention programming, and then provides sample checklists for key components of the analyses. The document concludes with a list of supplemental resources to further inform risk analyses design and implementation.
GBV Risks, Food Insecurity, and the Integrated Food Security Classification – What Are Basics that Food Security and GBV Actors Need to Know? - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022
07 Sep, 2022
Current events globally such as the escalating effects of climate change, the war in Ukraine, and the COVID-19 pandemic are creating an exceptional risk of food insecurity across many parts of the world, prompting the UN Secretary General to issue a dire warning in March 2022 about an impending possibility of “a hurricane of hunger and a meltdown of the global food system.”1 Evidence shows that this cataclysm of food insecurity will impact the lives of women and girls disproportionately. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), women around the world are more likely than men to experience moderate or severe food insecurity, an issue that appears in recent years to be on the rise. 2, 3 As food insecurity continues to increase, so may this food-related gender gap.
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...
