How can we create safe spaces for women and girls in humanitarian settings? In this episode, we talked with Melanie Megevand of International Rescue Committee about the Global Women and Girls Safe Space Toolkit, which offers a blueprint to support the transformational shift in use of power GBV practitioners seek to achieve in partnership with women, adolescent girls and local women’s organizations in humanitarian settings.
With support from the U.S. Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, the International Rescue Committee and International Medical Corps combined expertise, decades of experience and support from staff, women and girls and community members across seventeen women and girls' safe spaces in current humanitarian settings to ground the approach.
