Gender-based Violence

This briefing paper, entitled "Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls in War and Its Aftermath: Realities, Responses, and Required Resources," was referenced recently on ReliefWeb. It was prepared for a symposium on gender-based violence in Brussels.

There is a section of the paper that tracks "the development of resources for the field" that was quite interesting. Here's a list of some of the tools for gender-based violence programming that were discussed, presented in chronological order:

Sexual and Gender-based Violence against Refugees, Returnees and Internally DisplacedPersons: Guidelines for Prevention and Response, UNHCR (May 2003) [text]
