InterAction GBV Working Group Report on the Call to Action

In November 2013 governments, donors, international organizations, and NGOs came together in an unprecedented way in response to the Call to Action on Protection from Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Emergencies. InterAction’s GBV working group, composed of NGOs working on addressing GBV in humanitarian settings, collectively made 42 commitments to the Call to Action, as individual organizations and as the working group itself, representing twenty percent of all commitments made at the High Level Event. These commitments covered a range of themes such as capacity building, research, advocacy, scaling up programming, inclusion, integration of GBV programming, and other program or context specific interventions.
