====== Gender in Emergencies Guidance Note Series ======

The Gender in Emergencies (GiE) Guidance Note Series is set of simple, user-friendly, documents that can be used individually or as a series by CARE, partner staff, and consultants. The notes aim to provide practical guidance on key processes and approaches to further CARE’s Gender Equality mandate. They are short 2-4 page documents synthesising our collective knowledge into easy to use language and formatting around our key approaches. The Guidance Notes are meant to be used by CARE and partner staff working on emergency response.

====== Gender in Brief (GiB) ======

A Gender in Brief compiles and analyses the state of gender roles and relations in a country pre-crisis and presents this information into a two-page document. A GiB helps to understand how the crisis has led to changes and can help indicate the gender issues that are likely to arise. They are designed to provide accessible and practical information to non-gender specialists and can support better and more targeted programming recommendations. GiBs are a key part of producing [[http://gender.careinternationalwikis.org/care_rapid_gender_analysis_toolkit|CARE's Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA)]] in an emergency. When creating a Gender in Brief it is important to follow the GiB Guidance Note and the GiB Template.

The GiB Template provides insight into the format of the GiB and a practical set of questions that will help provide direction about the content of the GiB. When developing a GiB it is important to remember that it should __include references__ and be no more than __two pages.__

{{:ken-2008-as-013.jpg?direct&223|Brave women seek justice for post election violence in Kenya

     Six months after the contested elections, 20 rape survivors testified
before the Waki Commission of Inquiry. They seek justice for acts of sexual
violence committed during the post election turmoil.
     Driven by hatred and rage, young hooligans and officers in uniforms raided
the streets after the contentious election results were announced. Women and
children were attacked and often sexually abused. Until recently, their pain and
losses had not been addressed but their memories continue to haunt them.
     Millicent Obaso, CARE International?s Program Officer for Gender-Based
Violence, teamed up with Nairobi?s Women Hospital and the Kenyan Federation of
Women?s Lawyers, for the purpose of collecting testimonials and medical records
proving that thousands of women were victims of gender-based violence in the
months following the disputed presidential elections.
    Their goal is to prosecute identified rapists and sexual offenders for
committing a crime listed under the Sexual Offences Act, a law that was passed
only in 2006.
    The very act of testifying, says Obaso, asserts women?s rights in a
male-dominated society. Testifying can empower survivors of gender violence to
take on the role of activists in promoting better treatment of women. Training
and support can help these women move away from a ?victim mentality? and become
powerful catalysts in helping others who have suffered sexual violence and in...}}

"Women are most affected by armed conflict and post conflict situations.They experience war and conflict in different ways compared to men, as victims of rape, trafficking, sex slavery and forced prostitution as well as in some instances, perpetrators of violence and participants in conflict. But they are also a driving force for prevention and management of conflicts. They are peacemakers and advocates for peace and national reconciliation. They are single heads of households, and principal caregivers." //Rachel Mayanja//

**The Impact of Armed Conflicts on Women**

//"Men, women, boys and girls experience conflicts in different ways. Women often take over non-traditional roles brought on by the changes and transformations during the conflicts that render them both victims and actors. On the one hand, war is a burden for women and girls including gender-based and sexual violence (rape as a weapon of war), the spread of HIV/AIDS, increased vulnerability, lack of mobility and the use of women as sexual slaves by soldiers. On the other hand, women also get involved in the conflict as combatants, by taking take care of extended families in extremely adverse circumstances and by developing coping mechanisms to take over non-traditional occupations which enables them to gain exposure outside the private sphere."//Excerpt from the [[http://www.undp.org/women/docs/gendermanualfinalBCPR.pdf|UNDP Gender manual]]

Report: May 2014 “//The Girl Has No Rights: Gender-Based Violence in South Sudan//”

This new CARE report seeks to shed light on the very difficult conditions shouldered by women and girls in the conflict-stricken country of South Sudan; not only as targeted victims of community-based and ethnic violence, but also facing extreme the hardship and abuse resulting from forced displacement, extremely high levels of poverty, and aggravated incidence of poor health, malnutrition and psychosocial stress amongst others in states marked by intense fighting and high concentration of affected civilians. Rape, sexual, physical and psycho-logical violence have proven to be regretful side-effects of violent conflict. In South Sudan, such grave abuses occur in a context where routine services, livelihoods strategies, key assets and protection systems have been disrupted or completely shattered. The denial of basic human rights, such as the right to life, safety and security of the person, health, shelter and education has made women and girls, among other social groups, particularly vulnerable to suffering diversified forms of violence, and/or enduring them as a survival routine. The new CARE International report calls on donor governments and humanitarian actors on the ground to prioritize key actions to further respond and prevent GBV.

====== Gender in Post-Conflict Settings ======

"Once we understand the political, economic and social impact of wars on men, women, girls and boys, we are in a better position to define the needs of a postconflict society. This is a very important phase that gives an opportunity to promote reconstruction efforts with a gender perspective and enable women to participate actively in this process (as they may not want to return to the status quo ante bellum). This wide range of activities requires a gender perspective, such as the reconstruction of civil society, reorganization of police and armed forces, promotion of human rights, organization of elections, access to and control over resources (land issues for female head of households) and the setting-up of truth and reconciliation commissions."// Excerpt from the [[http://www.undp.org/women/docs/gendermanualfinalBCPR.pdf|UNDP Gender manual]] //

==== Claiming rights – promoting peace ====

//**Empowerment of women in conflict affected areas**  //

//Since 2006 CARE Österreich (CÖ) is running a cross-country program, financed through the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) in Burundi, Uganda and Nepal. It is denominated “Claiming Rights, promoting Peace: Empowerment of Women in Conflict affected Areas”, and thus strengthens the implementation of the UN SCR 1325. //

//__It reflects several, most important issues with regard to CARE’s programming:__  //

//- CARE Österreich and partners put women’s empowerment on the core of their work, as CÖ is committed to social change for women //

//- CARE Österreich takes on the program approach, in order to contribute to the achievement of significant and lasting impact on poverty reduction and social injustice //

//- CARE Österreich is committed to be a learning organization and has therefore included a strong learning component into the program. //

//{{:20100430_final_report_ada_rv_2007_2009.pdf|final_programme_report_2007_2009.pdf }}  //

//The program envisaged Learning Conferences in order to reflect the ongoing program process as well as achieved results and lessons learned. According to the commitment to document results, CARE Österreich prepared the following reports of the Learning Conferences in Nepal 2008 and Burundi 2009. //

==== Peace Building and Post-Conflict Recovery are Women's Business ====

//**No Lasting Peace Without Women** //

//On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, CARE UK launched the report "From Resolution to Reality: Lessons learned from Afghanistan, Nepal and Uganda on women's participation in peace-building and post-conflict governance." Women rarely have opportunties to participate at the negotiating table and where possible, partcipation remains rather tokenistic and event-based. The original, innovative spirit of 1325 went astray due to missed opportunities in connecting grassroots activism up to national and regional level political processes. More positively, many thousands of women used SCR 1325 to mobilize attention on root causes and legacies of the violence in their country. //

//Together with Isis WICCE, CARE implemented a workshop on Peace Building and Post-Conflict Recovery for Women Leaders and Activists on the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan for Northern Uganda (PRDP) and other Peace Building and Post Conflict Recovery Initiatives in Uganda. Acting as a means of linking grass-roots women's voices to national level policies, the workshop was attended by members of national as well as local CSO's and individual women's rights advocates. The following report provides an insight in the most important outcomes and findings of the workshop. //

==== Background information on GiE at CARE ====

//CARE’s hasGender and Emergencies Taskforce updated a Gender in Emergencies (GiE) Strategy and drafted a detailed implementation plan for 2011. In Niger, CARE recently applied the GiE strategy by establishing Village Savings and Loans groups to provide immediate assistance to those most affected by the food crisis. In Pakistan, CARE hired a Gender Advisor specifically for the 2010 flood response and is working to address gender barriers throughout the emergency response. In Haiti, CARE hired a Gender/GBV Advisor to integrate gender into all sectoral responses and partners with local groups to address GBV and exploitation related to food and nonfood item distribution. In Bangladesh, CARE adapted CARE’s International’s Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) policy to the local context and documented its mainstreaming in various programs. Overall, CARE’s humanitarian training programs have themselves achieved a gender balance among their responders by taking proactive measures to recruit and train women.//
