Types of GBV
Facilitator told to all participants many types of GBV, which are not physical or cannot be noticed easily. This does not mean that they are less damaging or serious. Mr.Arbab Nadeem had shown them some pictures to illustrate different Types of GBV. That was Physical
Overview At least two people are involved in any act of GBV: the person who commits the act and the person to whom it is committed. This session identifies these two persons as the Perpetrator and the Survivor. The words we use with survivors make an important impression if we call them victims we reinforce their powerlessness and weakness. If we call them survivors, we are celebrating their strength and supporting their continuing recovery. Learning Objectives 1. To understand the difference between a survivor and a victim and the importance of using these words and choosing which to use and when. 2. To understand the meaning of the term perpetrator.
14 Learning Objectives 1. To increase knowledge of the root causes of all forms of GBV. 2. To increase awareness of potential contributing factors and risks that may be present in individual settings.
Contributing Factors: Causes: The root causes of all forms of GBV lie in a societys attitudes towards and practices of gender discriminationthe roles, responsibilities, limitations, privileges, and opportunities afforded to an individual according to gender. Alcohol/drug abuse is a contributing factorbut all drunks/drug addicts do not beat their wives or rape women. War, displacement, and the presence of armed combatants are all contributing factors, but all soldiers do not rape civilian women. Poverty is a contributing factor, but all poor women are not victimized by forced prostitution or sexual exploitation. Boredom, lack of services, activities, programs Collapse of traditional society and family supports Religious, cultural, and/or family beliefs and practices Design of services and facilities in the refugee camps General lawlessness Lack of laws against forms of gender-based violence Lack of police protection Legal justice system/laws silently condones gender violence Loss of male power/role in family and community; seeking to assert power Political motive, weapon of war, for power/control/fear/ethnic cleansing
15 Society attitudes of disrespect or disregard towards women and privileged status of men Lack of belief in equality of human rights for all Cultural/social norms of gender inequality Lack of value of women and/or womens work
Day 2
The learning in progress the day two started with the name of Allah .Mr. Arbab Nadeem well come to all participants for day two and asked some related Question and reviewed from Day one topics.
Facilitator illustrated and diverts intuition for all participants that Response and Prevention are the two opposite direction process, but moving together where service providers can understand the need and demands of victim/survivals, further that facilitator asked from participants, what are main causes and contributor factors the violence occurrence. She made a contributing Tree and asked Question from participants what are the root causes and contributing factors of and GB violence. Facilitator explained that activities for Response and for Prevention must be developed simultaneously.

1. Summarize the training and discussions from this session Prevention and Response Plan addressed Outcomes/consequences Causes/contributing factors It involves all sectors, actors All actors agree to and abide by a set of Guiding Principles It is team oriented It is well coordinated It requires training and capacity building with an array of actors and stakeholders It supports full refugee involvement in the process of planning and implementation
Key Discussion Points Was: Prevention involves community awareness raising in the community and in humanitarian aid organizations Increased awareness will hopefully lead to behavior change. That means that prevention activities will result in more survivors coming forward and asking for help. Response services must be in place and ready to help an increasing number of survivors. If survivors come forward for help and help is unavailable or uncoordinated or of poor quality, we will be doing more harm than good. Our efforts will backfire because survivors will stop reporting if they perceive that the help they need is not available.

Facilitator demanded to all community support group that they should make or draft Advocacy Plan to motivate the refugee sitting to boost-up the positive relation with all youth and community members to provide direct assistance to victim or survival. Session V
Understanding the importance of referral system To increases participants understanding on report format To uniform reporting mechanism To coordinate with multi-sectoral To consolidate information of victim survivals List important survivor details that should be noted in case write-ups List survivor details that should not be noted in case write-ups Explain the importance of confidentiality Give examples of when it is appropriate to break confidentiality Explain ways to address issues of confidentiality with survivor Identify elements of a standard Intake form
19
Facilitator further move and asked to all participants for Brain storming, he asked participants what is the importance of case write ups? What important details are noted in case write ups? What do you think are important survivor? Details to note in case write ups for the purpose of record keeping.
Participants views on that Question was a common reporting system will help create or enhance reliable statistical records that allow actors, to measure the scope of the problem, any changes in the environment that may affect the incidence of sexual and gender-based violence, and the protection impact of interventions. A common report form will facilitate referrals and co-ordination and, most important, will ensure that the victim/survivor is not interviewed repeatedly. Facilitator explained the importance of case write ups and its significance as one of the tools for record keeping in case of GBV for few minutes. Highlight how might records be used on behalf of survivors or might be used against survivors taking clues from Points of Discussion. To make all participants should understand reporting format and how to report as a victim records, that all situation can handle to made common, More facilitator says it is important that all of this information in Case write-up be complete enough so that another caseworker will understand and be able to work with survivor at a later time. Compiling and sharing (non-identifying) data about GBV incidents is a valuable tool for breaking down denial and generating public awareness and action address the problems. Multi-Sectoral approaches have the basic techniques that can motivate the whole society in the shape of high Referral system + Reporting + confidentially +Coordination.

Sharing the referral System Mr. Arbab Nadeem told to all participants that, If they know a man who is a perpetrator or violent towards women, find an appropriate time and talk with him about it. Do not ignore the problem. Ignoring it means you accept it. Share with him better ways of expressing emotions or dealing with conflict. Encourage him to use the services in the community that can help him. If he is reluctant to go, offer to accompany him. Make it clear to him that his violent behavior is his responsibility and that it is unacceptable.
Thanks.
