Adapting the IASC Gender Marker to your needs: Future evolution (IASC Event NY)
New York
While there is a growing recognition that women, men, girls and boys are differently affected by crises and that humanitarian responses should be tailored to their diverse needs, how do Humanitarian Response Plans actually take gender issues into account? The IASC Gender Standby Capacity project (GenCap) will reflect with us on the state of incorporating gender equality into humanitarian action, offering insights on the degree to which the 2015 country strategies analyzed and addressed distinct protection and assistance needs. GenCap Global Advisor Delphine Brun (author of “Gender Equality in the 2015 Strategic Response Plans”) will also present how the IASC Gender Marker is being adapted based on users’ feedback. Suggestions and expectations about the future IASC Gender & Age Marker will be sought from the participants.
Please join us to learn more about the IASC Gender Marker presented by Delphine Brun, Inter-Agency Gender Advisor for the GenCap project.
