Research Query: Supporting GBV Survivors who are Pregnant due to Rape
08 Apr, 2021
This report first provides background information on what is known about the scope and impact of the problem in humanitarian emergencies, and then offers practical guidance to enable GBV practitioners to support survivors who are pregnant or have had children due to rape. While there is a growing body of evidence about the extent of sexual violence in conflict settings, there is little peer-reviewed research about pregnancies and childbirth as a result of rape, particularly in humanitarian emergencies or in relation to supporting survivors. As a result, sources for this research query primarily comprise “grey literature” – assessments, reports and guidance published by non-governmental organizations, including abortion rights organizations, and United Nations agencies. Additional resources for practitioners are provided at the end of the report.

Today, more than any time in the history of this region, the need for innovative and collaborative solutions is urgent. We are therefore pleased to share with humanitarians worldwide this latest addition to our Knowlege Series products, which encapsulates a variety of lessons learned and best practices in the gathering of gender-based violence data to improve humanitarian responses. The information presented in this guide is based on years of experience in the development of Voices from Syria — one of the most lauded in-depth analyses of gender-based violence in a humanitarian context, and one that has been hailed as a global best practice.

Research Query: Learning Brief on Femicide in Emergencies - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022
31 Oct, 2022
This report provides a practical overview of femicide in fragile and emergency settings, and the implications for GBViE practitioners.

This document comes in the wake of growing global awareness of femicide, due primarily to the ongoing efforts of feminist activists to render this form of violence more visible, protect women and girls at risk, support surviving family members of femicide victims, and hold perpetrators accountable. This paper is intended as a practical and non-exhaustive resource for GBViE actors; links to further reading can be found throughout.
