This learning brief introduces climate and disaster risk reduction (DRR) actors to the importance of addressing the connections between GBV and climate change to facilitate more effective and comprehensive climate action in the Asia-Pacific region. It begins with an overview of evidence of how climate change, manifested through both sudden onset disasters (e.g., cyclones, floods) and slow-onset events (e.g. drought) can lead to increased risks of GBV for women and girls, and how, in turn, this creates barriers to climate resilience.
This annotated bibliography provides short summaries of guidance, tools, research and other types of available materials that can support gender-based violence (GBV) actors to design and implement disability inclusive and participatory programs.
This resource offers practical, experience-based guidance on GEDSI mainstreaming in practice showing how to move from strong analysis to lasting change in policies, systems and programmes.

This briefing note aims to provide gender-based violence (GBV) practitioners and policymakers with essential information about Mpox, a viral disease. During public health emergencies like Mpox outbreaks, women and children may face increased risk of exposure to disease, greater obstacles to receiving accurate health information and services, and greater likelihood of experiencing GBV.
This resource provides an overview of work undertaken by the Gender-Based Violence Prevention South Sudan (GBVPSS) programme. Launched in 2024 and funded by FCDO, GBVPSS aims to prevent GBV and strengthen access to survivor-centred services for women and girls in South Sudan. To do this, the programme has used UNICEF’s evidence-based social norms change model, Communities Care: Transforming Lives and Preventing Violence.
