A Guidance note on institutionalising gender based violence prevention and response within organisations
In 2005, the Irish Consortium on Gender Based Violence published a report, Gender Based Violence: a Failure to Orotect, A Challenge to Action. The report committed agencies to recognising gender based violence (GBV) as a human rights abuse and called on them to be accountable in preventing and responding to GBV. Agencies endorsed the six key recommendations in the report:
?1. Institutionalise GBV responses at organisational level. 2. Support GBV programming: understand the context. 3. Make prevention and protection central to programming. 4. Improve service delivery: respond to GBV. 5. Engage with civil society. 6. Coordinate and collaborate with partners/other agencies.
