Gender-Based Violence and Livelihood Interventions

GUIDANCE NOTE Gender-Based Violence and Livelihood Interventions : Focus on populations of humanitarian concern in the context of HIV GUIDANCE NOTE Global issues such as deepening poverty, food insecurity and HIV and AIDS cannot be fully addressed without full and active participation of affected populations and communities, and in particular, women. This is particularly the case in the context of humanitarian crises. Although much work still needs to be done to assess the impacts of Gender$ based Violence (GBV) on agriculture and rural livelihoods , the available literature and findings indicate that the burden of Violence , notably in the humanitarian and HIV and AIDS context, falls on women, affecting their health, confidence and self$esteem as well as their capacity to provide for themselves. Therefore, GBV is not only a violation of fundamental human rights, but also an obstacle to the social and economic development of communities and States, as well as to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals.
