Guidance Note on Applying Feminist Approaches to Humanitarian Action - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2024

16 Jul, 2024

This paper considers the question of whether feminist theories and principles hold the potential to help the humanitarian system better meet many of its highest priorities. Research across the world provides widespread evidence that feminism can benefit not just women and girls, but entire communities and societies. Already across the UN system, there are strong normative frameworks and rhetorical commitments to women’s rights and empowerment. Feminist principles are deeply embedded in UN conventions and guidance that are key to humanitarian response.  However, at the level of humanitarian action, these feminist principles tend to “show up” most regularly and explicitly only in specific areas: GBV prevention and response, gender mainstreaming and gender-transformative programming, and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. Despite the strong normative frameworks and rhetorical commitments to women’s rights and empowerment, and despite empirical evidence on the value of advancing fe...

UNFPA Indicators for GBV Risk Mitigation in Cash Assistance with Supporting Guidance

26 Sep, 2023

This guide offers proxy indicators for assessing GBV risks to women in cash interventions. Cash actors can adapt these proxy indicators, which were developed based on operational research that focused on multipurpose cash assistance programmes, according to their context and the structure of their cash interventions. Each indicator is presented with example questions and user-friendly guidance on how to contextualize, measure, and interpret data to better detect and mitigate GBV risks in cash assistance. Measuring these indicators over time as part of routine monitoring allows cash actors to track trends related to gendered attitudes, beliefs, and social norms held by both men and women cash recipients, as well as behaviors used by women who receive cash to keep themselves safe. These indicators were developed through a collaboration between UNFPA and the Global Women’s Institute at George Washington University (GWI) that was completed in 2023 to examine GBV risk in relation to cash...

UNFPA Guidance: How to Design and Set Up Cash Assistance in GBV Case Management

28 Feb, 2023

Provisions on when and how to use cash assistance as a tool in GBV case management need to be carefully considered in order to mitigate any associated risks and avoid negative unintended consequences of cash assistance. As such, this UNFPA Guidance has the purpose of guiding and supporting GBV and cash practitioners in assessing, designing, implementing, and integrating cash assistance in GBV case management programming in a safe and efficient manner. The Guidance is the result of extensive feedback from cash recipients, their caseworkers, and implementing partners (IPs) in the field.   For examples of UNFPA's integration of cash assistance into GBV case management services, see the following reports: From Risk to Choice: Cash within GBV Case Management in Jordan Integrating Cash Assistance into GBV Case Management: Lebanon case study Women and Girls Choose: Cash in GBV Case Management Saves Lives Cash within GBV Case Management for Women and Adolescent Girls in ...
