Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) is a global pandemic further exacerbated in humanitarian settings. Promoting sexual and reproductive rights as well as access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is critical to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV) and the negative sexual and reproductive health effects of SGBV are well known. Attending to the physical and mental health needs of survivors is therefore an essential activity. In this panel speakers from Colombia, Malaysia, Uganda, and Ukraine shared their experiences serving survivors. The session discusses of factors among GBV survivors seeking psychosocial services; access to post-sexual violence services by survivors with diverse sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE); a case management approach linking survivors cash, protection, and psychosocial support; and partnership with government to support the delivery of SRH and GBV services to refugees and host populations in refugee settlement areas.
Safe abortion care (SAC) is a proven and life-saving intervention to prevent maternal death and morbidity and to manage the consequences of sexual violence in emergencies. Yet despite a culmination of factors that place vulnerable women and girls at increased risk of unintended and unwanted pregnancy, refugees and internally displaced people are systematically denied access to safe abortion care, often even when it is legally allowed, due to a variety of reasons and myths including incorrect assumptions about women’s beliefs, deprioritizing SAC in service delivery, and misunderstanding of the law. This panel will report findings of community perceptions around safe abortion in South Sudan, MISP implementation gaps and challenges in Colombia, and innovative use of “legal risk” as a lens to assess the legal context for abortion work.
