This grant program is offering funding to address well-defined gender-based violence (GBV) problems that have emerged or been exacerbated in natural disaster or conflict situations. This grant is for the purpose of supporting programs that articulate clear linkages between identified GBV problems, proposed activities, and expected impacts. Applications should focus on vulnerable populations such as internally displaced persons, returnees, and host communities, ensuring dignity and cultural respect. The initiative aims to prevent and respond to violence or abuse targeting individuals based on sex, leading to physical, sexual, or psychological harm, acknowledging that women and girls are often primary victims. It includes acts like sexual violence, exploitation, and domestic abuse, often stemming from unequal power relations.
