Thematic Focus: Gender Issues - Pt. 2 (SGBV)

New resource:

Handbook for Coordinating Gender-based Violence Interventions in Emergencies, 2nd ed. (Global Protection Cluster, 2019) [text]
- Revised edition. "The purpose of this Handbook is to facilitate concrete action – from preparedness, to humanitarian response through recovery. It is an indispensable tool for GBV coordinators, and the humanitarian community more broadly, to work together to address gender-based violence. GBV is best addressed when multiple sectors and organizations work together to create and implement unified prevention, response and risk mitigation strategies. Without clarity on necessary actions and dedicated attention to addressing GBV, on-the-ground efforts will be inconsistent and insufficient."
