This publication provides an overview of UN Women’s commitments to the humanitarian community guided by the “UN Women strategic plan 2022–2025”. It highlights areas where UN Women has a unique advantage in advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls across the humanitarian–development–peace nexus, and in contributing to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee priorities, including localization and accountability to affected people. The strategy adopts a two-pronged approach: strengthening accountability towards gender commitments in coordination and implementation of UN-led humanitarian and refugee responses, and strengthening comprehensive protection and livelihoods support to crisis-affected women and girls. While taking these approaches, UN Women prioritizes amplifying women’s voices, leadership, and agency as a critical and enabling cross-cutting area ... more
Las violencias por motivos de género atraviesan a mujeres, LGBTI+, niñeces y adolescencias con gran impacto en múltiples dimensiones de la vida y el sistema de salud tiene un rol fundamental en su detección temprana, en la evaluación del riesgo, en la prevención y la atención integral.Por eso, desde el Ministerio de Salud de la Nación y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS/OMS) presentamos el Manual Clínico “Atención integral de la salud ante situaciones de violencias por motivos de género. Herramientas para equipos de salud”, adaptado técnica y culturalmente a nuestro país a partir de la versión original de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). El presente manual está dirigido a todas las personas que integran equipos de salud interdisciplinarios e intersaberes del sistema sanitario (formadas en Medicina, Psicología, Enfermería, Trabajo Social, asesoramiento legal, agentes sanitarios, administración, promotoras y promotores de la salud, etc.) en especial a quienes trabajan en el primer nivel de atención. Su propósito es brindarles herramientas para la atención integral a mujeres, LGBTI+» y niñas, niños, niñes y adolescentes (en adelante, NyA) que atraviesan o han atravesado situaciones de violencias por motivos de género (en adelante, VMG) ... more

Учебное пособие по оказанию психологической помощи лицам, подвергшимся сексуальному насилию во время воорженных конфликтов. В этом руководстве даны рекомендации по работе в первую очередь с женщинами и девушками, которые пострадали в результате сексуального насилия. Однако мужчины и юноши тоже подвергаются сексуальному насилию, и это часто очень сложная тема для разговора. Руководство можно адаптировать для работы с мужчинами, пострадавшими в результате. Этот тренинговый материл составлен для тех, кто оказывает помощь и поддержку женщинам, которые подверглись гендерному насилию и получили сексуальные травмы во время стихийных бедствий, войн и конфликтов. Мы надеемся, что он будет полезен и для тех, кто работает с проблемами гендерного насилия в других условиях. Отдельный модуль тренинга необходимо посвятить работе с детьми (мальчиками и девочками), которых подвергли гендерному насилию ... more

This disease manifests as one or more skin lesions or ulcers that are slow to heal with variable response rates to drug treatments. Thus far, little attention has been paid to how the cultural effects of gender shape perceptions and experiences of CL. This review aims to bring together and analyse existing studies which use qualitative data to explore these differences. These studies offered insights into our specific research questions ... more
