Webinar: Women and Girls Safe Spaces Toolkit
Considered a core element of GBV programming in the GBViE Minimum Standards, Women and Girls’ Safe Spaces (WGSS) are a structured place where women’s and adolescent girls’ physical and emotional safety is respected and where they are supported through processes of empowerment. The new resource “Women and Girls Safe Spaces: A Toolkit For Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in Humanitarian Settings” co-created by the International Rescue Committee and International Medical Corps, fills a critical gap in existing guidance by offering a global blueprint for programming which harmonizes the approach used by GBV practitioners while accounting for women and girl-led processes and contextual differences in humanitarian settings. This webinar will introduce the toolkit by presenting the core programming principles, approaches and strategies fundamental for cultivating safe and empowering spaces for women and girls which define WGSS programming...

This Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) has been developed as part of UNRWA’s commitment to providing evidence-based gender-responsive support to the Gazan population. The purpose of the RGA is to provide information and analysis about the different needs, capacities and coping strategies of women, men, boys and girls to underpin UNRWA’s and other actors’ capacity to design and deliver gender-responsive emergency support.
Breaking Barriers: Empowering Women-Led Organizations in GBV Prevention in Emergencies
Recognizing the critical role of women-led organizations in addressing GBV, this webinar aims to shed light on innovative approaches to support these organizations, amplify their voices, and explore strategic funding mechanisms to empower them and their efforts to prevent GBV from occurring during emergencies. This event will highlight the approaches in strengthening the role of WLOs in GBV coordination, capacity to influence humanitarian decision making and increasing access to more flexible, longer-term humanitarian financing. Examples of recent achievements include the global CERF grant and its higher-than-target funding to WLOs, and the IASC Principals Roundtable on GBV financing hosted by the ERC and Germany, in its Call to Action leadership role. Objectives: Raise Awareness: Increase awareness about the importance of GBV prevention in emergencies and the unique contributions of WLOs in this context. Showcase Good Practices: Share successful programs c...
Global Cluster Coordinators Group, Statement for 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 2022
25 Nov, 2022
IT’S ON ALL OF US – COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR GBV RISK MITIGATION Global Cluster Coordinators Group, Statement for 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 2022 As humanitarians, we have a collective responsibility to ensure that we are doing all we can in our work, to understand and mitigate gender-based violence (GBV), which we know is exacerbated in times of crisis. We are called to do so by the commitments and standards of our profession and the Centrality of Protection. Perhaps most importantly, we are also called to do so because the very programming that we implement can – if not done well - cause or intensify GBV, violating the rights of women and girls (and other marginalized genders according to the context), and our own principle to “Do No Harm”. The GCCG is committed to ensuring that GBV risk mitigation is consistently addressed as an immediate priority in humanitarian action, regardless of cluster or mandate. Based on t...
“For me, the justice is the truth”: Strengthening Access to Justice for GBV Survivors
“For me, the justice is the truth”[1]: Strengthening Access to Justice for GBV Survivors Access to justice is a human right and is also key to the realization of other rights, including the right to live free from violence, discrimination and inequality. Upholding women and girls’ rights to access justice after GBV is a one element of multisectoral GBV programming in emergencies. Minimum actions for promoting justice and legal aid for GBV survivors are set in the Interagency Minimum Standards for Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Programming as minimum standard number 10. Survivor-centered justice systems offer a range of potential benefits for GBV survivors. They can provide protection and remedy, and support healing and recovery of GBV survivors and their families. Yet, in most humanitarian contexts, it is challenging to seek justice for GBV through formal or informal mechanisms - let alone survivor-centered justice. Many of the barr...
