Our global Gender-Based Violence (GBV) team provides strategic technical support to actors across the GBV ecosystem from donors to community-level women-led organisations. We are a multi-disciplinary team delivering programme design and implementation support, advocacy, research reports, MEL and helpdesk services.
Our team aspires to apply our feminist principles in all our work and to support sustained and transformative change. We partner with diverse stakeholders and we take an intersectional approach to our work on GBV prevention and response across development and humanitarian contexts.
Our work includes primary prevention programming, community-level response to GBV and SEAH, school-related GBV, GBV in Emergencies, Technology-Facilitated GBV, Violence against LGBTQI+ communities, and GBV in Climate and Economic programming.

This training material is Part A of a series of building survivor-based support system within gender-based violence (GBV) judiciary systems in Malawi. The resource will allow for a step-by-step process to implement this within judiciary systems, developing the capacity in which survivors can rely on authority figures for help and support. Throughout the course, the aim is to create a culture of survivor-based systems within social norms, attitudes, and values, in support of challenging GBV against women and girls in Malawi.
In emergencies, GBV program managers often set up new programs or rapidly expand existing programs to address a significant change in needs. The rapid set up and need for services can result in hiring practices that rely on and reinforce existing power structures, access to opportunities, and cultural bias. This tip sheet covers inclusive recruitment practices for GBViE program staff and volunteers.
