Short Summary
|
How can sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) be tackled in a refugee setting? This guide advocates a multisectoral approach which brings together a range of organisations working in the medical, legal, and security sectors, with the refugee community, to tackle SGBV in participatory 'survivor' centred ways. An example is given of how this approach was carried out in refugee areas in Liberia, and the largely positive reactions of the refugee community are described. Practical tools are included such as an outline of how to run a community awareness raising campaign with women leaders, black leaders, youth leaders and refugee security staff. Check sheets are included for recording and analysing cases of rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence and early marriage in refugee camps. This is one of a series of guides on how to address sexual violence, combat female genital mutilation and promote reproductive health and safe motherhood in different contexts in Africa.
