A RAPID EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT ON EXPOSURE TO GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND CHILDREN’S NUTRITION

About

This brief summarizes the findings of a rapid evidence assessment that examined the linkages between exposure to gender-based violence (GBV) and nutrition outcomes for children in fragile settings. The assessment was commissioned as part of UNICEF’s broader commitment to ensure that all programmatic interventions – including, but not limited to, those in the nutrition sector – are as safe and accessible as possible for women and girls. This approach involves proactively identifying and taking action to mitigate GBV-related risks, as outlined in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines for Integrating Gender-based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action.
