Gender-Based Violence

Our role on GBV prevention and response
 

An image of women's hands palm-faced down touching fingertips in a circular position. Our global Gender-Based Violence (GBV) team provides strategic technical support to actors across the GBV ecosystem from donors to community-level women-led organisations. We are a multi-disciplinary team delivering programme design and implementation support, advocacy, research reports, MEL and helpdesk services.

Our team aspires to apply our feminist principles in all our work and to support sustained and transformative change. We partner with diverse stakeholders and we take an intersectional approach to our work on GBV prevention and response across development and humanitarian contexts.

Our work includes primary prevention programming, community-level response to GBV and SEAH, school-related GBV, GBV in Emergencies, Technology-Facilitated GBV, Violence against LGBTQI+ communities, and GBV in Climate and Economic programming.

Bibliografía comentada sobre involucrar a niños como aliados en la prevención de la violencia basada en género

La participación de niños (hasta los 18 años) es una misión fundamental, aunque poco explorada, de la prevención de la violencia basada en el género en contextos de emergencia.

Finding Ways and Means to Deliver Gender-Based Violence Programming in Hostile Environments

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.

Reflections from the Women Deliver 2023 conference

I’m still recovering from a great week spent in Kigali for the Women Deliver Conference 2023. This event saw over 6,000 delegates come together under the theme; Spaces, Solidarity, Solutions.  I felt privileged to navigate this space with fellow feminist colleagues and yes, hundreds of selfies were captured, and thousands of hugs exchanged. As I always say, the best part of these conferences is the connections made with my feminist community. There are many reflections from the conference, and I’ll attempt to share some of them here.
