World Humanitarian Day
On August 19, the eleventh year that we have marked World Humanitarian Day, we are paying special tribute to the real-life heroes who have committed their lives to helping others in the most extreme circumstances throughout the world. The campaign focuses on what drives humanitarians to continue to save and protect lives despite conflict, insecurity, lack of access and risks linked to COVID-19. This year, COVID-19 has been the biggest challenge to humanitarian operations around the world. The lack of access and restrictions placed by Governments around the world has resulted in communities, civil society and local NGOs being the frontline of the response. Therefore, the campaign presents the inspiring personal stories of humanitarians who are treating and preventing COVID-19, providing food to vulnerable people in need, providing safe spaces for women and girls in lockdown; delivering babies; fighting locusts and running refugee camps, all amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
International Day of Rural Women
The crucial role that women and girls play in ensuring the sustainability of rural households and communities, improving rural livelihoods and overall wellbeing, has been increasingly recognized. Women account for a substantial proportion of the agricultural labour force, including informal work, and perform the bulk of unpaid care and domestic work within families and households in rural areas. They make significant contributions to agricultural production, food security and nutrition, land and natural resource management, and building climate resilience. Even so, women and girls in rural areas suffer disproportionately from multi-dimensional poverty. While extreme poverty has declined globally, the world’s 1 billion people who continue to live in unacceptable conditions of poverty are heavily concentrated in rural areas. Poverty rates in rural areas across most regions are higher than those in urban areas. Yet smallholder agriculture produces nearly 80 per cent of food in Asia and...

Introducing the Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for GBV Programming # 16 Days of Action against Gender-based Violence
All humanitarian response agencies have a responsibility to protect those affected by GBV but GBV response often requires specialized programs. In order to support actors and agencies implementing GBV-specialized programming in emergencies, the Interagency Minimum Standards for GBV in Emergencies Programming (Minimum Standards) were developed with the to establish a common understanding of what constitutes minimum GBV prevention and response programming in emergencies. “Minimum” means “of adequate quality” (for the purposes of the resource, adequate quality means (1) reflecting good practice and (2) not causing harm). As such, each Standard represents common agreement on what needs to be achieved for each specific programmatic element to be of adequate quality. The actions outlined in the Minimum Standards apply to all actors working to deliver GBV-specialized programming and coordination across humanitarian crises - including for migration contexts and for refugee setting...
