Trainings

This e-learning course introduces participants to general definitions, concepts and normative and legal frameworks related to gender-based violence (GBV). It will cover forms, causes and consequences of GBV in conflict contexts, as well as on an endemic basis. The course also focuses on prevention and response programming; models underpinning mainstreaming and targeted actions on GBV; and the need for coordinated approaches. The course seeks to provide basic knowledge and skills on GBV to staff of international humanitarian and development organisations aiming to deepen their understanding and engagement on GBV responsive programming. 

Specifically, course participants will: 

• define and describe definitions and forms of GBV, and its causes and consequences; 
  
• gain a generic understanding of different approaches to preventing and responding to GBV, including mainstreaming and specific actions on GBV;  and 
  
• enhance their knowledge on the key models that underpin programming approaches, including key elements of promoting coordinated action on GBV.
