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.

GBV Risks, Food Insecurity, and the Integrated Food Security Classification – What Are Basics that Food Security and GBV Actors Need to Know?

This learning brief is aimed at both food security and GBV actors, to encourage each group to consider how the IPC may be improved to support attention to GBV as both a driver and an outcome of food insecurity, and also how data collected as part of the IPC can lay the foundation for empowerment work within the food security sector that can reduce both food insecurity and GBV. The learning brief begins with brief summary of the IPC, and then provides a review of some of the key links between gender inequality, food insecurity and GBV, particularly within the household.
