520 _aThis note focusses on addressing GBV in natural disasters, with special attention to emerging good practices and lessons learned from efforts to prevent and respond to GBV in the aftermath of recent natural disasters in Asia and the Pacific. The topic of natural disasters was chosen based on recommendation s by GBV AoR members: given the current extent of natural disasters, their anticipated increase in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change and other factors, and the impact natural disasters have on women and girls’ safety and well-being, it is critical for GBV actors to be able to draw from emerging good practices and lessons learned when planning and implementing GBV programming in settings affected by climate-related emergencies. The Asia-Pacific region was identified as an area of particular focus for case studies, not only because it is the region most affected by natural disasters globally, but also because national governments’ and regional capacity in disaster management has grown significantly in the last decade, generating some interesting insights into challenges and successes in addressing GBV before, during and after an emergency strikes. The information presented in the guidance note is meant to serve as an introduction to the topic, rather than an exhaustive overview—there simply is not yet enough published information or evidence about GBV programming in natural disasters to produce a definitive guide. This guidance note is part of a series of knowledge products produced by the Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) Helpdesk. The Helpdesk is a technical research, analysis, and advice service for humanitarian practitioners working on GBV prevention and response in emergencies at the global, regional and country level. GBV AoR Helpdesk services are provided by a roster of GBViE experts, with oversight from Social Development Direct. (From the introduction). #7085
