How to protect yourself and others
from GBV in an emergency.
In disasters, human rights must be protected to ensure safe, inclusive recovery. CGA’s Gender Based Violence in Emergencies (GBVIE) videos address protection issues from consent and dignified aid to safety in shelters, and protection for vulnerable groups including women, children, and LGBTQ+ persons. Watch, share and help prevent GBV.

Jamaica Gender In Brief
Designed to provide a snapshot of key gender issues within a specific setting, a Gender In Brief compiles existing information on gender dynamics before a crisis, giving aid workers information to develop an immediate course of action to ensure relief and response is distributed fairly to everyone – men, women, children and the LGBTQ+ community.
The Jamaica GIB was developed by CGA’s team who led the ground work for deeper research to follow

The CVA training, facilitated by CaLP Network Certified, Sahara Dahir Ibrahim (of Kenya 
), allowed participants to learn different CVA distribution mechanisms and discuss the opportunities and challenges to delivering high quality CVA as part of humanitarian response, use various assessments, including market assessment tools, to inform CVA appropriateness, analyze assessment data to choose modality, delivery mechanism and transfer value and learned methods to ensure accountability towards affected populations during the CVA design and implementation process.
