Thematic Working Groups

Thematic Working Groups bring together members in smaller groups around specific areas of interest. Members are encouraged to sign up for a maximum of two thematic working groups. These groups decide on which issues are relevant to them and initiate activities, discussions, skill-building sessions and more. They are semi-autonomous groups, while their activities remain rooted in the core beliefs and values of the Network. View an overview of the Thematic Working Groups here.

Communication Materials: The aim of this group is to exchange skills and learning on effective GBV prevention communication materials.

HIV & AIDS and Violence Against Women: Members of this group are particularly interested in expanding their
work on the intersection of GBV and HIV/AIDS.

Policy Advocacy: This group works toward increased interest and investment in GBV Prevention at various levels in the region.

Research and Monitoring & Evaluation: The aim of this group is to strengthen the capacity of GBV Prevention Network members to undertake research and M&E on GBV.

GBV in Emergencies: This group, coordinated by International Rescue Committee (IRC) seeks to promote improved approaches to emergency response and preparedness among GBV practitioners by sharing field-tested tools and models for response, and by building on member experience to develop new strategies for strengthening local GBV emergency response and prevention capacity.
