Statement of the Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility: GBV in Tigray
16 Apr, 2021
Statement of the Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility: GBV in Tigray The Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) continues to be alarmed by reports of increasing violence against women and girls – including harrowing accounts of sexual violence– because of conflict and insecurity in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Though we know gender-based violence (GBV) can be prevented, GBV continues to be present in every conflict, crisis and disaster because of gender inequalities that persist across the globe. That this pattern would repeat in Tigray is not a surprise, but is extremely worrisome. The GBV AoR brings together non-governmental organisations, UN agencies, and others to prevent and respond to GBV. We have been working with local and international non-governmental organisations, including women-led organisations, and others to respond to GBV needs since the outset of conflict in the Tigray region in November 2020. The GBV AoR – in collabor...

“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...
