HNO Consultations by Michael Getachew/GBV SC: GBV SC is planning to conduct consultations with partner organizations at national and regional levels to determine major risk factors and vulnerabilities of GBV for conflict-affected people. This should help to develop the GBV SC PIN (people in need) and target per region across Ukraine. The deadline for the GBV SC to submit it’s PIN and severity scale across the raions is 19 September. This will be followed by the Joint Analysis Workshop for clusters (29 September). The HNO consultations by the GBV SC are planned online for SAG (6), in person in Lviv (8 September), Dnipro (14 September) and Kyiv (16 September). GBV SC partners will also participate in the HNO consultations by the protection cluster scheduled at national level and in regions including Chernivtsi, Vinnytsia, Lviv, Uzhgorod,
Kherson, Odesa and Mykolaivska regions.

5W Reporting by Ihor Vintsiv/GBV SC: The 5W reporting gradually improves with 33 partners reaching out 334,035 persons. Disseminating life-saving information, providing psychosocial and legal support, distributing dignity kits and providing capacity building remains the priority areas for GBV interventions for the DC partner organizations. The gap in capacity to deliver GBV case management is acknowledged.

Update on Capacity Enhancement WG agenda by Insherah Musa/GBV SC: The group is currently working on the finalization of 2 key documents:

  • the draft Capacity Enhancement Action Plan was tabled for comments (deadline 7 September). The document will be finalized before the next CEWG meeting and then shared with the partners of the GBV SC to indicate on their capacity development initiatives and plans for 2022 and 2023. The AP will be a living document (possible to modify as needed);
  • the Capacity Enhancement Needs Assessment questionnaire was approved by the CEWG and distributed for the collection of input. So far 9 organizations made the submissions. The deadline for inputs was extended toth of September. Results of the need assessment will further guide the Capacity Enhancement AР.

Follow up action:

  • Finalize CEWG AP and populate it with the planned activities by partners
  • Conclude and analyze the outcomes of the capacity enhancement needs assessment
  • Identify the organizations with GBV specialists (including PSS staff) available for joint training listed in the AP 2022/ 2023+
  • Organizations willing to contribute to organization/logistical and admin support of joint training initiatives

Possible ideas for synergies for UHF projects between the GBV SC and Health Cluster (SRH WG, MHPSS WG) by Primo Madra/SRH WG Coordinator: GBV response services are inter-sectoral where Health (CMR, other health services including SRH and MHPSS) are essential part of life-saving services requiring close linkage with other GBV services (PSS, legal aid and police/security). In this regard, the joint capacity building initiatives are important for health, PSS, legal and police/security personnel to enable better understandings of referrals, survivor centered approach, case management functions and accountability to affected people/survivors and their family members. Prevention and mitigation of GBV risks can be equally dealt by health actors in close coordination with other GBV players. This can include dissemination of lifesaving information in health facilities and raising awareness amongst all health actors on GBV risks, available services and referrals. The GBV and health actors can also jointly train non-GBV humanitarians in first aid and survivor centered approach.

IOM Information Campaign against GBV including Trafficking in Human beings and SEA by Iryna Mydlovets/IOM: The information campaign ‘THEY USED YOU’ has started on 2nd of September and will last till 18th of October using wide variety of communication channels including TV, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Social media campaign was made with the engagement of bloggers and celebrities. In addition, the outdoor advertisement (billboards, metro lights, posters in trains) was conducted, posters were posted at collective centers, centers for admin services, social services, train/bus stations and others. Leaflets were disseminated during information sessions conducted by IP.

The aim is to show that people who suffered from human trafficking, exploitation and GBV can ask for help and receive assistance calling 527 hotline. Within campaign were developed 5 videos and visuals about different types of exploitation, namely: sexual exploitation, survival sex, forced labour, exploitation in the armed conflict, forced begging.
