PSEA: Strengthening Inter-Agency Efforts to Prevent and Address Sexual Exploitation and Abuse across the Humanitarian Response
PSEA: Strengthening Inter-Agency Efforts to Prevent and Address Sexual Exploitation and Abuse across the Humanitarian Response Protection from sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment (PSEAH) is critical to the effective delivery of aid to people in need, and also to the integrity of humanitarian organizations and workers. But more than anything, they cause harm and distress to victims and survivors. This session on 4 May 2021 will address: How are our efforts on protection from SEA? What have we learned? What lessons can be drawn from collective efforts to prevent and address SEA at the country level. What are the results of mapping and analysis on access to services and gender-based violence projects to improve safe and ethical access for victims? What is the UN Protocol on Victim Assistance and how do we implement it? How can we better collaborate to protect from SEA?
GBV Accountability Framework: An Open Dialog
The Accountability Framework (AF), informed by a Theory of Change developed by Real Time Accountability Partnership, is based on existing policies, guidelines, and best practice, and for the first time compiles these concrete and validated actions in one place. The Accountability Framework captures responsibilities and mandated actions for different stakeholders based on existing IASC policies, inter-agency guidelines and field-based best practices at global, regional and country-level during each phase of the humanitarian programme cycle (HPC). It provides a guide for service providers to GBV coordinators and humanitarian leaders and donors, to implement IASC Commitments to prevent, mitigate and respond to GBV within their mandates. On 5 May 2021, the GSC is hosting a moderated discussion on the GBV Accountability Framework, generally, followed by an open 'round table' discussion. The Accountability Framework Global Steering Committee (GSC) is in the process of developing country a...

Examining Women and Girls' Safe Spaces in Humanitarian Contexts: Research Findings from Northwest Syria and South Sudan
Examining Women and Girls' Safe Spaces in Humanitarian Contexts: Research Findings from Northwest Syria and South Sudan Despite the widespread application of women and girls’ safe spaces (WGSS) in humanitarian crises, there has been little rigorous evidence of the impact and effectiveness of this programming approach in participants’ lives. Our new research suggests that participating in WGSS programs was associated with higher gender-based violence service knowledge and utilization, and more gender equitable attitudes. The study also found that WGSS are a vital entry point through which women and girls can broaden their social networks and form significant relationships outside of their households. The full research report and a policy brief can be downloaded via the links below. Please share with your networks. CARE will be hosting a webinar to discuss this report at 9am EST on Wednesday, August 18th. An invite is below and attached—all are welcome! Report available ...
