Cash and GBV Workshop in Burundi - GBV AoR 2019
20 Nov, 2019
Cash and voucher assistance (CVA) has become a valuable and increasingly utilized tool in humanitarian response in Burundi. CVA has been shown to contribute to the resilience of vulnerable populations, but in order to maximize its effectiveness, humanitarian actors should establish Gender-Based Violence (GBV) risk prevention and mitigation measures. While the Burundi Humanitarian Country Team has declared CVA a priority, and eight sectoral objectives mention CVA in the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan, it is critical that actors are able to identify GBV risks as well as good practices in terms of risk mitigation measures.

Revictimised: The Humanitarian Consequences of Mandatory Reporting of Sexual Violence - ICRC 2019
10 Dec, 2019
Overview: This paper presents the initial findings from research carried out on the requirement, in certain countries, to report sexual violence cases to law enforcement authorities, and the humanitarian impacts of such obligations in the context of armed conflicts and other situations of violence. The research established that mandatory reporting laws, policies and practices in these contexts, often impact negatively on access to health care for victims/survivors of sexual violence and may expose them to secondary violence and harm. The paper presents recommendations to States that have mandatory reporting requirements in place, and to donors and health-care actors on how to mitigate the consequences of mandatory reporting on the health, safety and well-being of victims/survivors.
