- Understand the roles of different actors in addressing GBV.
- Identify barriers to survivors accessing services, and discuss ways to safely reduce the barriers.
- Understand how GBV affects children and other marginalized groups, and that special considerations need to be applied.

Course Structure
TOTAL learning time: 2.5 hours (2 modules, approximately 1 hour each with a break in between)
Who should attend?
The module is designed for humanitarian responders who are working with populations affected by the Ukraine conflict (refugees and IDPs) to increase their understanding and knowledge around gender based violence (GBV), including sexual violence. It responds to the need for humanitarians to know what actions are required to mitigate risks for non-GBV programmes and projects and respond to disclosures. The course is aimed at people working in non-GBV specialist roles.
