The Gender-Based Violence Sub-Sector in Cox’s Bazar comprises more than 71 standing member organisations; including, UN, INGO, NNGO and government agencies operating in the Rohingya refugee camps and the surrounding affected host community locations. The sub-sector works to prevent and respond to Gender-Based Violence through strengthening community-based GBV programming. The key strategic objectives of the Sub-Sector include:
1) ensuring access to quality multi-sector GBV response services for survivors,
2) building the capacity of GBV service providers and other stakeholders to deliver quality care in line with best practices and minimum standards for humanitarian settings;
3) enabling active participation of affected communities in GBV awareness raising, response, prevention and risk mitigation.
4) enhancing GBV risk mitigation across humanitarian sectors and with the government, and
5) strengthening coordination and planning for the sustainability of the GBV response.
The GBV Sub-Sector (led by UNFPA) works in close collaboration with the Child Protection Sub-Sector (led by UNICEF) within the Protection Sector (led by UNHCR). The Sub-sector participates with other humanitarian sectors in the Inter-sector Coordination Group (ISCG).
