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...

Finding Ways and Means to Deliver Gender-based Violence Programming in Hostile Environments - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2023

16 Oct, 2023

This learning brief discusses a range of strategies and methods humanitarian actors can use to support and sustain GBV response and prevention programming in hostile contexts. It outlines what ‘hostile contexts’ refers to in this paper, and why it is important for GBV program managers and service providers to be able to identify and adapt to rapid or incremental increases in hostility in humanitarian environments, which are likely to adversely impact the implementation of GBV prevention and response programming. The paper discusses some of the risks women and girls face in these high-risk environments and concludes with several key considerations for GBV specialists.

Annotated Bibliography on Engaging Boys to Become Allies in GBV Prevention - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022

30 Dec, 2022

ngaging boys (up to age 18) is a critical yet under-explored area of GBV prevention in emergencies. This annotated bibliography provides an overview of relevant literature, evaluations, and programmatic examples for engaging boys in GBV prevention programming with a focus on high and middle-income settings and—to the extent knowledge exists— humanitarian contexts. Building on an emergent body of global literature on male engagement for GBV prevention, the bibliography begins with an overview of evidence and lessons learned in work with boys to prevent GBV generally, and then focuses on examples of specific types of programs, such as community-based social norms change; bystander interventions; school-based programming; peer education; and sports- and play-based programming. This information is meant for GBV practitioners working in emergency settings who are seeking to work with boys as allies in GBV prevention.
