Guidelines for GBV and Protection in Evacuation Centers

These guidelines were developed by the International Organization for Migration and were adapted to the Pacific context in collaboration with the Pacific Humanitarian Protection Cluster and partner organizations in Fiji. These guidelines represent a concerted effort amongst emergency response and protection actors in the Pacific to respond to concerns around gender-based violence (GBV) and other protection risks in evacuation centres in the sub-region and to systematize GBV and Protection mainstreaming into evacuation management moving forward. These guidelines were first developed in 2021 and will continue to be adapted as they are piloted across the Pacific.
