The study is designed to foster the recognition that gender-based violence (GBV) is a major feature of many conflicts and understanding its occurrence during disasters.
The research addresses three questions: 1. What characterizes GBV in disasters? 2. In what ways should legal and policy frameworks, including disaster risk management, be adapted to address GBV in disasters? 3. How should National Societies and other local actors address GBV in disasters, and what support do they need to fulfil their roles?

This case study looks at the Integrated Community-Based Risk Reduction (ICBRR), a five-year project implemented by the Indonesia Red Cross (PMI) in partnership with the American Red Cross (ARC).
The ICBRR project aims to enhance the capacity of communities and PMI (at National Headquarters, chapters, and branches) to prepare for and respond to disasters. The project was implemented in 100 villages and 75 schools within four target districts of Aceh (Sabang, Aceh Besar, Banda Aceh, and Aceh Jaya).
This document provides direction to National Societies and the Federation to support the aims and enabling actions of the IFRC Strategy 2020 in relation to self-directed and interpersonal violence, including urban violence.
The Minimum Standard Commitments for each sector are based around a framework of: dignity; access; participation; safety; and internal protection systems. The checklist provides specific indicators which an organisation can use to rate its progress (achieved, partially achieved, not achieved and not applicable), justify its score and propose next steps. This checklist provides a quick tool for assessing compliance with the Minimum Standard Commitments in Emergency Programming for Red Cross / Red Crescent staff and volunteers in: emergency health; food security; water, sanitation and hygiene; emergency shelter; livelihoods; non-food items and disaster risk reduction. It serves as a tool for organisations to mark progress and identify their next steps.
