REPORTS TO: GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator in Ukraine
Duty Station: Kyiv

- Background
Since the start of the war in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, more than 10 million people had been forcibly displaced with more than 3.7 million fleeing to the neighboring countries out of which the majority are women and children. GBV risks sharply increased due to military activities, massive displacement of population and deteriorating security situation in a country where prevalence of various forms of GBV was already high (the 2018 OSCE survey revealed two thirds of women experiencing either sexual, physical or psychological violence since the age of 15 years) before the war. With the growing number of reports and anecdotal evidence on conflict related sexual violence, threats of trafficking for sex, sexual harassment and other forms of violence, strengthening coordination for GBViE prevention and response was prioritized by the UNFPA, the lead agency in support of the GBV Sub-Cluster.
The Gender-Based Violence Sub-Cluster (GBV SC) was established in 2014 as a Protection Sector subgroup to deal with Gender-Based Violence in humanitarian setting, with a specific focus on sexual violence being the most immediate and dangerous type of violence. The working group also addresses other forms of GBV such as sexual exploitation and abuse, trafficking, domestic violence and other manifestations of GBV.
