Nearly 60% of refugees live in cities, where they face significant risk of gender-based violence. Intersecting factors exacerbate their vulnerability, including marginalized employment, language, ethnicity, culture, disability, and sexual or gender identity. Perpetrators often assume, correctly, that urban refugees are unwilling or unable to seek police protection.

This tool, currently in pilot form, helps practitioners to assess and respond to urban refugees' risks of gender-based violence.
