Advocacy Note: Meeting the Commitment to the Call to Action in the Humanitarian Programme Cycle - Call to Action 2020
23 Oct, 2020
Reviews of recent HNOs and HRPs capture progress, but also highlight some serious gaps that continue to stand in the way of a response that effectively addresses gender-based violence and is fully accountable to women and girls. As Call to Action partners, we have both the opportunity and obligation to address these systemic issues in humanitarian planning processes. Below are a set of priority recommendations for humanitarian leadership and implementing agencies; these should also be supported by Call to Action donors in their advocacy.

Webinar: Climate Change and its impact on GBV in Emergencies
Until recently, climate change action was not seen to be a part of humanitarian response but sat in the “development” sector. This is changing due to the frequency and severity of natural disasters, as well as the impact of climatic disasters and humanitarian conflict situations. The impact of climate change is also being seen to increase insecurity which is contributing to conflict. Humanitarians must now see climate change as a factor to incorporate in their work in responding to and preparing for humanitarian emergencies. Gender-based Violence (GBV) program managers and coordinators must also analyze and be prepared to respond to the issue. The GBV AoR Community of Practice is collaborating with the GBV AoR Helpdesk to present a webinar drawing from the 2021 Helpdesk Learning Brief: Climate Change and Gender-Based Violence: What are the Risks?&nb...
Serie de webinarios: Respuesta a la violencia basada en género a través de los programas de transferencias monetarias
La violencia basada en género (VBG) está muy extendida: a nivel mundial, una de cada tres mujeres sufre algún tipo de violencia o abuso. La VBG está presente en los entornos humanitarios y las pruebas anecdóticas apuntan al aumento de la VBG desde el inicio de la pandemia a causa de la COVID-19. Desde 2018, ha habido un mayor enfoque en el uso de los programas de transferencias monetarias (PTM) para los resultados de protección, incluida la integración de PTM en la respuesta a la violencia de género. Ahora hay una serie de orientaciones y herramientas sobre el tema. UNFPA señaló en su Panorama de la Acción Humanitaria de 2022 que el dinero en efectivo sería una parte integral de su enfoque de prevención y respuesta a la violencia basada en género. Sin embargo, las pruebas del uso de los PTM para los resultados de la violencia de género son escasas y rara vez se aprovechan las oportunidades de influenciar el uso de PTM en el ma...

11 Apr, 2023
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is considered one of the world’s largest, with over 23 million people – 75 percent of the population — in need of humanitarian assistance. In 2022, needs have only grown and the crisis remains one of severe displacement and protection concerns1 . Yet despite the fact that preventing, mitigating, and responding to protection risks – including gender-based violence (GBV) – is one of the three objectives of coordinated response to the crisis in Yemen2 , the appeal for GBV prevention and response of $61.4 million is only 16 percent funded3.The costs of this inaction are the lives, dignity, and futures of millions of Yemeni women and girls.

CRISIS in DRC alarming rates of sexual violence in North Kivu - GBV AoR DRC 2023
27 Jun, 2023
Members of the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR) in DRC, the coordination mechanism for GBV service provision led by UNFPA, have been urgently trying to scale-up services in and around the camps in North Kivu but inadequate funding has severely limited their scope. Only 23% of the GBV response plan is funded; $16M now needed to protect women and girls. A recent mapping exercise revealed that out of the 10 camps assessed, only 4 had basic health and psychosocial support services for survivors. There is also a need for cash and voucher assistance so that women and girls can meet their basic needs.
Path to Progress: Ensuring Sexual And Reproductive Health and Rights in the Maldives - UNFPA’s 6th Country Programme of Assistance 2016-2021
21 Mar, 2022
UNFPA’s historic one-output 6th Country Programme for the Maldives started in 2016 taking into account the country’s paradigm shift and the need to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the country, especially for the young people. As the development agenda drew to a close in 2021, we take a reflectory look back at the many successes and progress achieved. This reflection looks back UNFPA’s role in formulating Maldives’ first ever Reproductive, Maternal Newborn Child And Adolescent health policy and the SRH services under one roof with inauguration of Hulhumale’ Reproductive health centre and the Ufanveni health centre at the Kulhudhuffushi Regional Hospital. In addition, from Period Vaahaka, Menstrual Cups to the Country Programme’s adapting to the Covid-19 Pandemic, especially in fighting the shadow pandemic of violence against women and girls - CP6 is our path to progress
