We are aware that the Myanmar Red Cross Society alone cannot meet the humanitarian needs of the people in time of natural calamities or disasters. Concerted efforts have to be rendered by the government\, people\, civil society organizations\, and humanitarian organizations to help those who are in need.” \n“Moreover\, the Myanmar Red Cross Society can help trained communities to be disaster resilient and the government\, on its part\, will be providing necessary assistance through its line ministries”\, he added. \nSince its inception from the battlefield of Solferino in 1859\, the Red Cross has been actively carrying out humanitarian work all over the world for all the people in need regardless of their nationality\, religion\, political opinion. The International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement is the world’s biggest humanitarian network and providing humanitarian assistance to those who need according to the Red Cross principles: Impartiality and Neutrality. \nEvery year\, around the world\, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC)\, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and 190 National Red Cross/ Red Crescent Societies provide the humanitarian assistances for more than 160 million people through its network of around 17 million volunteers and 450\,000 staffs. \nMyanmar Red Cross Society was established since 1920. Over 44\,000 Red Cross volunteers provide humanitarian aid to more than 500\,000 people\, building safer and stronger communities through a diverse and innovative range of services tailored to local needs. From Community Based Health and First Aid Programme\, Building Community Resilience Programme\, Hpa-an Orthopedics Rehabilitation Centre\, Restoring Family Links services\, Disaster Preparedness\, Response and Recovery Programmes\, the Myanmar Red Cross Society provides these services through the tireless dedication of its volunteers. \n“World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day\, 8 May\, is an opportunity to recognize the contribution and achievements of the millions of volunteers and staff members around the world who are keeping our commitment to humanity every day – by making the last mile effort to ensure that no one is left behind. In complex contexts with increasing vulnerabilities\, our ability to access people in need is constantly changing. But our volunteers and staffs are finding creative and innovative ways to adapt local solutions to reach people in need and help them prepare for dealing with and recover from these challenges\,” said Professor Dr. Daw Mya Thu\, the President of Myanmar Red Cross Society. \nThe theme of 2017 World Red Cross Day is “Everywhere for Everyone.”  Myanmar Red Cross Society commits to maintain the momentum of good work and success that it has achieved to continue striving for improvement and betterment to help the people according to their needs and to thrive as community based humanitarian organization by promoting the role of youth\, the role of people living with disabilities and empowering women.

SUMMARY:Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) research – Initial training for the field research | 9-14 May 2017 | Lao PDR
DESCRIPTION:The initial trainings for the field research on sexual and gender-based violence took place on from 9-14 May 2017 in Lao PDR. As part of this research project\, all data collection teams have to be trained for six days. The trainings include sensitization on sexual and gender-based violence issues\, introduction to the questionnaire and focus-group discussions (FGDs) and multiple practice sessions to ensure that the research is carried out in an ethical\, safe and confidential manner. \nThe training was six days long with a series of debrief meetings on the seventh day. \n \nKey sessions included:\n1) An overview of what SGBV is\, how it is different during disasters and how to define specific types of SGBV\, including sexual violence\, domestic violence\, early/forced marriage and child sexual abuse. The multi-sectoral response for a survivor was also explained and reviewed. Participants were tested on their knowledge through a series of quizzes and case scenarios\, including the gallery walk.\n2) Detailed overview of the guiding principles\, an ethical approach to data collection and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. The same key messages were reviewed every day during the training\, including:\n– gender inequality is the root cause of SGBV\n– Putting the survivor at the center through the guiding principles: Safety\, Confidentiality\, Respect and Non-discrimination\n– Definitions of SGBV\n– Code of conduct during fieldwork\n– Stress management for the data collection team\n3) An in depth session on key sections of the fieldwork manual for data collectors\, including duties and responsibilities of each team member\, explanation of the full questionnaire and the rationale behind each question\, explanation of the Focus Group Discussions\, review of keeping safe in the field and how to implement the guiding principles of safety\, confidentiality\, respect and non-discrimination during interviews. Each team member had to sign a pledge of confidentiality and ethics and the Lao Red Cross child protection policy.\n4) An overview of the open data kit (ODK)\, what it can and cannot do in the area of information management and how to use the hand held devices. This is also a key area in the fieldwork manual. Field supervisors also had an additional orientation session in which they learned how to manage the devices\, including charging the phones\, uploading of forms and how to review forms at the end of the day for mistakes.\n5) Sharing of cultural considerations by the field supervisors coming from the Oudomxay and Sekong provinces on cultural practices and traditions the data collectors may have to face during field work. The most disaster affected villages include a number of different ethnic groups\, who speak different language and have unique cultural rituals.\n6) Two Lao Government representatives\, one from the National Commission on the Advancement for Women (NCAW) and the National Statistics Bureau\, shared their experience of working on the UNFPA supported 2014 National Level Prevalence Survey on Violence Against Women and Girls. This session reviewed the most important Do’s and Don’ts for the data collectors in the field (please see checklist below) and also gave further insight on how the field supervisors can finalize their fieldwork plan and do effective household respondent selection. \nSupporting Documents\n» Agenda\n» Dos and Don’ts – Field data-collector checklist for research on sexual and gender-based violence in disasters

Peer learning activities fall under the AADMER (see AADMER Work Programme) Priority Programme 3 “Advance”\, which ensures that “robust and accountable information sharing platforms and their interoperability across different tiers of government and communities\, together with traditional and non- traditional platforms\, will be in place.” \nOxfam had invited the IFRC Disaster Law Programme to present on the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI)\, focusing on RRI’s disaster law component and how it has helped bring the voice of the community to the decision-making table. The presentation highlighted that the IFRC and Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have been doing peer to peer learning activities for a long time as it is how the Movement is built – through our wide network in different countries. IFRC also facilitated group sessions to discuss the importance of law and policy in achieving resilience goals. \nRead more about on this link (to ifrc.org)
