This resource focuses on safeguarding people with disabilities and mental health conditions in humanitarian and development programmes. It was written in collaboration with people with disabilities. 

The resource contains three parts:

This resource examines the current evidence and practice around the prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG). It makes recommendations for how prevention programming can be implemented at scale in a way that aligns with feminist principles.  It recognises that while there is evidence that localised prevention of VAWG is possible, evidence of impact is generally limited to a handful of interventions and contexts, and typically at an individual or relationship level as opposed to community or population level. 

This resource summarises the pivotal role played by refugee women-led organisations (WLOs) in preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV). It also examines the systemic barriers WLOs face, in relation to registration, legal recognition, stigma, funding, and gaining meaningful access to decision-making spaces. 

This resource summarises existing evidence on violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex people (LGBTQI+) people, and shares emerging insights into what works to prevent this kind of violence. It is based on a global evidence review that focused on understanding violence against LGBTQI+ people and identifying promising practice in preventing violence based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC).

This resource looks at available evidence on the effectiveness of social norms-focused approaches to tackling different forms of gender-based violence (GBV) in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS). It recognises how social norms play a critical role in driving and shaping GBV, yet despite this, relatively little is known about how to measure social norm change in emergency settings. 

This resource examines the intersections of disability, gender and violence. It summarises early evidence on intimate partner violence (IPV) from the global What Works Violence against Women and Girls Programme (the ‘What Works’ programme), which was funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). It sets out a number of key findings, including:

This resource looks at effective funding strategies to support women’s rights organisations (WROs) working on the prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG). It makes recommendations based on consultations with 58 WROs working on VAWG in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

The recommendations focus on how grant-making structures can better support WROs and feminist movement building. They are split into steps that can be implemented by donors at each stage of the grant-making process. 

This resource focuses on research uptake approaches used by the global What Works to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls Programme (the ‘What Works’ programme), funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The programme aims to advance the field of prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG) through building the evidence base, promoting research uptake, and building research capacity. The programme also focuses on promoting the use of research findings in policy and programming.

This resource summarises the evidence on societal-level impact of online violence against women and girls (VAWG). It looks at four main areas:
