This short document addresses the gender-based violence in populations affected by armed conflicts. It is divided into the following sections: Gender-based violence and armed conflict; Rape as a weapon of war; Displacement and domestic violence; Displacement and sexual exploitation; HIV/AIDS, conflict, and gender-based violence; We can make a difference. The document was produced by The Gender-Based Violence Global Technical Support Project of the RHRC Consortium, which provides a wide range of information, training, and support to field programs.
Gender-Based Violence: Emerging Issues in Programs Serving Displaced Populations is a compendium of key lessons learned during five years working with GBV programs in 12 countries; It is designed to be read and used by staff and volunteers who work to protect displaced populations—from high level policymakers to field-based workers. I hope the issues, observations, and challenges identified here and the ideas presented will not only add to the collective knowledge on GBV but also motivate humanitarian aid organizations to strengthen their collaborative efforts to prevent and respond to GBV.
