Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) threatens displaced women and girls, as well as men and boys, in all regions of the world. Creating safe environments and mitigating the risk of SGBV can only be achieved by addressing gender inequality and discrimination.

2023年8月22日 · We have a moral imperative to stop all forms of violence against women and girls. In crisis, whether conflict or natural disaster, the risk of GBV increases, and so does our collective need to act to prevent GBV before it happens or respond to the needs of women and girls when it does.

2006年7月28日 · Creating safe environments and mitigating the risk of SGBV can only be achieved by addressing gender inequality and discrimination. While the scourge of SGBV is receiving much more attention internationally – as illustrated by Security Council Resolutions 1820, 1888 and 1960 – preventing SGBV is a complex challenge.

Gender-based violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world, with 1 out of 3 women having experienced it in their lifetime. It is rooted in gender inequality, systemic discrimination and unequal power relations between women and men.

Key strategies include improved GBV information and data management systems at national and county levels, as well as a strengthened GBV Unit at the MOGD. In an effort to combat Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA), the UN in Liberia has taken measures to prevent, report, and investigate SEA cases, and to impose sanctions against the perpetrators.

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is not only prevalent in Liberian society; it is unfortunately accepted as an integral part of gender relations. This perception was exacerbated during the war years, as SGBV was used repeatedly as a weapon of war.

• Strengthen response to SGBV through comprehensive services and referral and reduce vulnerability to HIV and AIDs and other STIs; • Enhance mechanisms to prevent and protect children (girls and boys) from sexual violence, abuse …

2024年12月5日 · Recognizing these challenges, humanitarian actors identified the need for alternative approaches to measure SGBV prevention safely, ethically, and effectively. In 2019, InterAction led an interagency initiative to map SGBV risk patterns, interventions, and tools used to track risk changes and prevention outcomes in crisis contexts.

To prevent SGBV, we need to change harmful social norms – the unwritten rules that shape people’s values, attitudes and behaviours. Faith groups have a considerable influence on social norms and traditional practices.

The ‘Start’ phase involves pre-contemplation – a process by which community members begin to understand SGBV and HIV as interconnected issues through open and frank conversations. Through this process, the community identifies the power within itself to stop SGBV.
