Summary
The Reach Out project designed this additional module on gender-based violence (GBV) in response to the request and needs expressed by NGOs working with refugees. This module is designed to increase field staff awareness, knowledge, and understanding on GBV and aims ultimately to contribute to the effective protection of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Given the level and the target audience, facilitators have the flexibility to build a tailored session by using the handouts provided at this end of this module. These provide practical information, figures, case studies, and lessons learned. By all means, we encourage facilitators to adapt this module to the needs of the participants and their specific context.
Learning Objectives
- To raise awareness of GBV;
- To get the participants to reflect on the link between GBV and protection in a given context;
- To discuss/share responses, strategies, and support mechanism to reduce and respond to incidents of GBV.
