520			_aThis paper examines the tensions between feminist and technocratic approaches1 to addressing VAWG in humanitarian settings. We contend that the application of a technocratic approach within the humanitarian system – one that is premised on the application of technical standards and methods, often by outside experts, and an overreliance on generating “scientific” knowledge – cannot by itself provide solutions to VAWG. Rather, feminist analysis and approaches must be the foundation on which VAWG prevention and response efforts build, and local women’s organisations must be at the forefront of these efforts. (From the Executive summary). Information about COFEM comes from the 2017 SVRI workshop presentation. Record #5646
