Objet publié

The project seeks to address gender inequality, and the prevention and response to gender-based violence in the humanitarian response to the Rohingya refugee crisis, through three objectives: (1) advance gender equality in humanitarian response programming; (2) support Canada’s leadership role in the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies, a multi-stakeholder initiative that works to transform the way gender-based violence is addressed in humanitarian emergencies; and (3) protect and empower displaced adolescent girls living in Cox’s Bazar. Project activities for the Rohingya refugee crisis response include: (1) conducting, drafting and promoting a gender operational review of the Rohingya response; (2) generating girl-centered evidence; and (3) providing a comprehensive appreciation of attitudes and perceptions about adolescent girls living in Cox’s Bazar.
