Gender-based violence against women and girls in Gaza protection and inclusion framework

This study looks at gender-based violence (GBV), in particular domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrated against women from across Gaza. It focuses on the experiences of widowed, abandoned, single, married and remarried women and, in particular, those of beneficiaries of three Islamic Relief Palestine programmes: Enhancing Economic Empowerment, Recovering Wellbeing of Children, and the Orphan Sponsorship programme. Drawing on their experiences, the study identifies a range of forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) that are prevalent in Gaza. It makes a series of recommendations to inform future GBV prevention and response strategies for humanitarian actors in Gaza.
