Gender Handbook for Humanitarian Action

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Inter-Agency Standing Committee. 12/29/2017 This 400-page document provides practical guidance for humanitarian workers to mainstream gender equality into humanitarian action across sectors. It also aims to place protection at the center of humanitarian action, with an age, gender, and diversity approach as the core element of fair and equal protection. This means identifying the distinct protection risks of women, men, boys, girls, and LGBTI persons due to gender roles, throughout all stages of a humanitarian crisis. (PDF)
