Training on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is one of the greatest humanitarian challenges today. It encompasses a range of violations, including sexual assault, domestic violence, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, trafficking, and harassment. SGBV is a pervasive human rights violation that affects individuals of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds worldwide.

It takes various forms and occurs in diverse situations and contexts worldwide. In conflict-affected states, for example, rape is often used as a strategy for warfare to undermine the enemy and demoralize and destabilize communities. It not only inflicts physical harm but also causes profound psychological and emotional trauma, disrupts communities, and perpetuates cycles of violence and inequality.

Training on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the complexities and dynamics of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). By providing comprehensive information on the various forms of SGBV, their prevalence, and their impact on individuals and communities, the training helps raise awareness among participants about the significance of addressing this issue.

Training on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence is designed for professionals and practitioners working in fields such as social work, psychology, law enforcement, human rights advocacy, healthcare, education, and community development. It is also suitable for policymakers, legal professionals, NGO staff, and anyone interested in combating SGBV and supporting survivors.

• Deepen participants’ understanding of the complexities and dynamics of sexual and gender-based violence
• Recognize different settings of SGBV (e.g. emergency, conflict, displacement, homes, schools, online)
• Explain core concepts of SGBV such as gender and sex, consent, gender norms, power relationships, violence, threats of violence, and coercion.
• Understand the emotional and social consequences of SGBV
• Identify the psychosocial needs of survivors
• Familiarize participants with relevant legal frameworks, human rights principles, and best practices in SGBV prevention and response
• Equip participants with practical skills for supporting survivors, advocating for change, and contributing to the prevention of SGBV
