Women’s Rights & Gender-Based Violence Intervention Team

Field-based protection, survivor-centered response, and operational support for women and girls facing violence, displacement, coercion, and systemic exclusion in crisis environments.

Mission

Protection in Crisis

This team operates where gender-based violence risk escalates fastest: conflict zones, displacement corridors, temporary shelters, border environments, and fragile community systems. Its work centers on dignity, safety, access, and survivor-informed intervention.

Capabilities include emergency protection coordination, referral pathway support, field documentation, risk mapping, community safeguarding, and cross-sector collaboration with health, legal, shelter, and humanitarian actors.
