Women, War & Displacement
The Irish Consortium on Gender Based Violence would like to invite you to the launch of their report on Women, War and Displacement. The report illustrates the connection between heightened conflict, displacement and increased levels of gender based violence, and argues for a more robust gendered dimension of GBV response in the Global Compacts on Migration and Responsibility Sharing for Refugees, to be produced over the next two years. In addition, case studies drawn from the programmes of ICGBV membership agencies are featured in the document, giving voice to women who have experienced gender based violence as a result of conflict and displacement. As part of the launch we will be holding a roundtable discussion on conflict, displacement and gender based violence, and the gendered dimension of the refugee crisis. ICGBV was formed in 2005 and brings together Irish humanitarian and development organisations, Irish Aid and the Irish Defence Forces, in an effort to combat gender based violence.
