Economic and Social Empowerment (EA$E), a women’s protection and empowerment intervention, has shown promising reductions in intimate partner violence and gender inequities among forcibly displaced populations (FDPs) in low-income and middle-income countries. This study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of EA$E for use with US-based FDPs, and recommendations for adaptation.

This meeting report shares key takeaways from the Interagency Gender Working Group’s (IGWG) Gender-Based Violence Task Force event “Exploring the Impact of Reproductive Coercion on Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes,” focusing on program implementation challenges and emerging issues in reproductive coercion, as well as promising practices for addressing reproductive coercion. The report also offers recommendations for program implementers, researchers, and governments, donors, and multi-lateral institutions that emerged from the discussion.

This case study (also available in Spanish, French, and Arabic) highlights the practical importance of coordination between cash and voucher assistance and gender-based violence (GBV) actors at all levels and shows how working in silos is detrimental to assisting to the fullest extent possible women and girls affected by GBV. It documents the conditions that led to the creation of a joint taskforce (TF) in Northwest Syria to tackle this gap and the challenges faced by the TF, as well as the programmatic and operational learning from the coordination process.

WRC and partners have developed several resources that contribute to learning on integrating cash voucher assistance within gender-based violence (GBV) programming. This case study (also available in Spanish, French, and Arabic) sheds light on the experiences of Oxfam and WEO during their partnership to implement the integration of cash transfers within GBV case management in Ninewa governorate, Iraq.

This how-to note guides practitioners working across sectors in how to build, strengthen, and maintain referral networks. Building referral networks, or strengthening existing networks, is crucial to providing survivors of gender-based violence with access to timely, safe, and confidential services that can support their immediate and long-term health, healing, and empowerment.

This synthesis report showcases recent programmatic and advocacy successes and highlights remaining knowledge and implementation gaps in GBV prevention and response and serves as a guide to those working in this community, as well as in SRHR. It summarizes the GBV Task Force’s learnings over the life of the PACE Project and, based on these learnings, suggests actions to strengthen GBV prevention and response.
