Good Shelter Programming: Tools to reduce the Risk of GBV in Shelter Programmes

This toolkit is developed by the Global Shelter Cluster Working Group on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) risk reduction. It aims to support shelter program staff in mitigating GBV risks through improved shelter and settlement programming. It includes practical tools for assessment, risk mitigation, and response to GBV incidents.

The toolkit emphasizes the importance of considering GBV risks in shelter interventions to safeguard the health, security, privacy, and dignity of crisis-affected individuals. Key components include gender-sensitive assessments, risk and mitigation registers, and guidelines for responding to GBV disclosures. The report underscores the necessity of integrating GBV risk reduction into shelter programs to enhance the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations.
