Finding Ways and Means to Deliver Gender-based Violence Programming in Hostile Environments - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2023
16 Oct, 2023
This learning brief discusses a range of strategies and methods humanitarian actors can use to support and sustain GBV response and prevention programming in hostile contexts. It outlines what ‘hostile contexts’ refers to in this paper, and why it is important for GBV program managers and service providers to be able to identify and adapt to rapid or incremental increases in hostility in humanitarian environments, which are likely to adversely impact the implementation of GBV prevention and response programming. The paper discusses some of the risks women and girls face in these high-risk environments and concludes with several key considerations for GBV specialists.

Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA): Your Role as a GBV Coordinator - UNFPA 2020
09 Sep, 2020
Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) can support access to GBV and other sexual and reproductive health services, and contribute to the safety, dignity and resilience of women and girls in humanitarian contexts. It can offer discretion and flexibility compared to in-kind assistance, which can be particularly helpful for those who may be more at risk of GBV and loss of income due to their personal characteristics, such as older women, adolescent girls, persons with disabilities and LGBTIQ persons.
General GBV risk mitigation messages and recommendations Gaza response October 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...
