This document puts the light on the situation of Syrian refugees, particularly women and girls. At the beginning it focuses on the forms of gender-based violence and the growing number of refugees and refugee women as a result of the situation in Syria. Added to that it provides quantitative and how data that reflects the size of victims and the quality of the excesses committed in their rights. The documents also provide guidance about intervention mechanisms with refugees and victims of sexual violence, which are the interest of the directives actors on the ground (international organizations and civil society).
This report was undertaken by the Women’s Refugee Commission, with the support of the Government of Switzerland, to identify how the humanitarian community was integrating existing gender guidance across all sectors and whether gender was being dealt with centrally as an institutionalized way of working rather than peripherally. This report contains findings and recommendations.
This compendium was developed with the help of many individuals. At the request of the USAID East Africa Regional Mission with the Inter-agency Gender Working Group (USAID), MEASURE Evaluation developed this compendium in collaboration with a technical advisory group (TAG) of experts. The goal was to develop a set of monitoring and evaluation indicators for program managers, organizations, and policy makers who are working to address violence against women and girls (VAW/G) at the individual, community, district/provincial and national levels in developing countries. An extensive literature review was undertaken to document any indicators in the field that were already being used. A steering committee of experts met over a period of several months to select members of the TAG, develop a framework for the compendium and generate an initial list of indicators for wider input from the TAG.
