Enhancing Gender-based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action

The guidelines focus on integrating gender-based violence interventions into humanitarian action, emphasizing key changes and additions such as structural modifications, contextual considerations, and enhanced accountability. Led by UNICEF and UNFPA, the revision process involved extensive consultations to align with current humanitarian architecture, providing recommended indicators and targeting a broad audience of non-specialists. The guidelines aim to streamline programming, address risks in diverse humanitarian settings, and promote effective implementation and responsibility across actors.
