An Issues Paper by the Irish Joint Consortium on Gender Based Violence.
This report highlights key messages arising from a one-day conference on Women, Peace and Conflict, hosted by the Irish Joint Consortium on Gender Based Violence held in Dublin on 17th November, 2008.
A new report by the Irish Joint Consortium on Gender Based Violence has just been published.
This report built on the work of INSTRAW (2005), the experience of other countries, consulted with with Irish domestic organisations and uniquely charts out a consultative process for the development of an Irish National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325.
This publication, entitled ‘Gender Based Violence: Ireland Responding’, is based on the distillation of best practices among the consortium’s member organisations and provides more detailed guidance to organisations on how to go about institutionalising appropriate responses to GBV.
Despite having originally come together to consider how to respond to the gender based violence being perpetrated in Darfur, Western Sudan, it became clear to the Joint Consortium on Gender Based Violence that the problem must be looked at beyond one very high profile example and that the aim of the group should be to identify how best to develop institutional capacity to respond on a systematic basis to GBV. This publication outlines key actions to be taken by organisations to address GBV.
The ‘Gender Based Violence Study’ was commissioned by the Joint Consortium on Gender Based Violence in 2005 in response to the conflict situation in Darfur, Sudan and was the first major project undertaken by the group.
