Course Overview
Responding to humanitarian emergencies is fraught with difficulties from the outset. Human displacement created by conflict, ethnic cleansing, and politically induced famine often emerges unannounced, rendering it difficult to plan for in the first instance. In any crises, different genders and varied age groups of people suffer in different aspects.
The kind of help to be given to these different categories differs across the lines. The old cannot take care of themselves and even run away including the children. Women and young girls are vulnerable to sexual violence while their male counterparts are likely to be killed as they are seen to propagate violence. Adopting a gender sensitive approach to humanitarian situations is important in ensuring that the needs of all these different age sets and genders are met.
The course aims to equip learners with skills on the importance of addressing gender matters and the approaches to be inculcated in executing the same. Tools to be used in ensuring equitable distribution of justice and help across the divide are also discussed in detail, including the provision of a deeper understanding of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Gender Marker, which is a key tool in humanitarian action.
Course Content

- Inter-Agency Standing Committee as a gender marker
- Application of gender-sensitive approach in mitigation of segregation based on gender
- Protection of transgender individuals
