Gender

The IASC prioritizes gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in all phases of the humanitarian response. This aligns with its broader goal of addressing vulnerabilities and ensuring equitable assistance for all individuals affected by crises.

Key Priorities of the IASC on Gender include:

• Gender Equality Programming: Mainstreaming gender considerations into all aspects of humanitarian response, from planning to implementation and monitoring.
• Prevention of Gender-Based Violence (GBV): Addressing and mitigating GBV risks, while providing support to survivors.
• Inclusive Participation: Ensuring women's meaningful participation in decision-making processes at all levels.
• Accountability: Holding organizations and stakeholders accountable for gender-responsive action.
• Data and Analysis: Collecting and analyzing sex- and age-disaggregated data to inform responses that address the specific needs of women, men, boys, and girls.
