GBV Pocket Guide

The GBV Pocket Guide is an essential resource designed for humanitarian practitioners across all sectors to provide effective support to survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), especially in areas lacking dedicated GBV services or referral pathways. This extension offers step-by-step guidance based on global standards to ensure survivors receive compassionate and informed care without further harm.

Key features include an interactive decision-tree to assist responders in navigating conversations with survivors, clear do’s and don’ts alongside sample scripts, and tailored advice for assisting child and adolescent survivors. The guide serves as a companion to the 2015 IASC GBV Guidelines and helps integrate GBV risk mitigation strategies into humanitarian responses.
