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
Gender-based Violence (GBV) Risk Analysis for Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) in Ukraine - GBV AoR, OCHA, ACTED 2022
07 Jun, 2022
A GBV Task Force was formed by members of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Sub-Cluster and the Cash Working Group (CWG) in April 2022 in Ukraine. This Task Force (TF) has been created to support GBV mainstreaming within Cash programming for the Ukraine response. The role of this TF is to review tools, assessments and plans for the roll-out of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), but also to provide a “GBV Risk Analysis of CVA for the Ukraine context”. To this end, more than 15 members of the TF gathered on May 6 to undertake this analysis based on information from operational partners in both GBV and CVA and information collected from different assessments. Preliminary results from this joint exercise were then shared for feedback to a wider audience of GBV and CVA actors.
Advocacy on Rise of GBV risks for Women and Girls in Relation with Greatest Food Insecurity in WCA - GBV AoR WCA Regional Team 2022
06 Apr, 2022
On the 14th of March 2022, the United Nations Secretary General warned of “a hurricane of hunger and a meltdown of the global food system” as a consequence of the Ukraine crisis. Inequalities together with distribution and logistics problems linked with the consequence of the crisis in Ukraine, have disrupted global supply chains. In a globalized world already experiencing unprecedented levels of food insecurity, the crisis in Ukraine will impact food security everywhere. Few places will experience this more forcefully than the countries of West and Central Africa; and women and girls of West and Central Africa will once again bear the brunt of conflict and crisis, even one thousands of miles away...
