Gender-based violence & psychosocial support - ICGBV 2019

06 Dec, 2019

This Learning Paper gives a brief snapshot of psychosocial support (PSS) and gender-based violence (GBV), including the types of PSS and PSS best practice. It also highlights the new Inter- Agency Minimum Standards on Gender-based Violence in Emergencies Programming, showing why PSS is an essential component of GBV response and why PSS interventions should take a survivor-centered approach. Case studies from Concern Worldwide Lebanon, Trócaire and World Vision offer concrete examples of the current work and challenges related to working in GBV response and PSS.
