GBV Risk Reduction in Shelter Programmes – Three Case Studies

The report examines gender-based violence (GBV) risk reduction strategies in shelter programs through three case studies: the Benin Floods (2011), the Nepal Earthquake (2015), and Typhoon Hagupit in the Philippines (2015). Each case study highlights the context, challenges, and outcomes of implementing GBV risk reduction measures in emergency shelter responses.

The report emphasizes the importance of integrating GBV prevention and response into shelter programming, ensuring safety, privacy, and dignity for affected populations, particularly women and girls. It also provides lessons learned and recommendations for future shelter interventions to mitigate GBV risks effectively.
