Women's Rights & Gender-Based Violence Intervention Team

Combating gender-based violence and advancing women's rights through intervention, documentation, and advocacy.

Mission Statement

The Women's Rights & Gender-Based Violence Intervention Team works to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and advance women's rights in conflict, humanitarian, and development contexts. The unit provides survivor-centered support, documents GBV incidents and patterns, advocates for legal and institutional reform, and builds the community-level prevention programs that address the root causes of gender-based violence and discrimination.

GBV Documentation

Documenting GBV incidents and patterns — including conflict-related sexual violence — building the evidentiary record for accountability proceedings and the data needed to design effective prevention responses.
