Preventing and Responding to Gender-based Violence in Faith-based Communities: An Annotated Bibliography of Recommended Resources - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022
11 Jan, 2022
The annotated bibliography explores these and other approaches. However, only a small number of evaluated GBV programs are available. In addition, there is limited information available about how religious leaders and communities work with perpetrators of GBV, or about addressing GBV against marginalized women and girls, including violence against women and girls based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression (SOGIE). Moreover, while many resources take an interfaith perspective, specific examples or details often focus on Christianity and Islam. Less information was found on other religions. This bibliography does not include resources exploring the role of faith in perpetrating and perpetuating GBV, although some of the resources do address this as well as describing prevention and response.
Ethical & Safety Recommendations for Researching, Documenting and Monitoring Sexual Violence in Emergencies Guidance

This is an inevitable result of survivors’ well-founded anxiety about the potentially harmful social, physical, psychological and/or legal consequences of disclosing their experience of sexual violence. In emergency situations, which are characterized by instability, insecurity, fear, dependence and loss of autonomy, as well as a breakdown of law and order, and widespread disruption of community and family support systems, victims of sexual violence may be even less likely to disclose incidents.
