Welcome to the Global GBV Network

Who is the "GBV Network"?

We are an informal network of national and international staff and leaders committed to ending violence against women and children - gender-based violence - in humanitarian emergency situations.  The site is hosted and managed by Beth Vann, with occasional help from friends and colleagues.  

What is this site about?

On this site, you will find technical and other information such as new publications, resource materials, relevant events, training opportunities, and sometimes job openings.  Our goal is to encourage and promote information sharing - about field experiences, emerging good practices, outcome measurements, the pains and joys of doing this work, and other related topics.  This includes providing access to resources for professional development, with a view toward strengthening the global capacity to effectively prevent and respond to GBV from the earliest stages of emergencies. 

We encoursage you to register, post your own stories and comments, and revisit the site from time to time. 

Postings are organized more or less by topic area and can be accessed through the toolbar on the top left side of the page.  Useful links are on the right side of this home page.

How to register?

You may register to become a GBV Network member by clicking "Create an Account" on the Login bar at the top right side of the home page. 

After you are registered and logged in, go back up to the top right and click on "Preferences" to set up notifications and other details. 

By registering and creating your preferences, you will have the opportunity to post your own stories and to be notified by email when new material is posted to the site. 

Of course, if you choose not to register, you can still access most of the postings on this site any time.
