In April 2018, Refugees International (RI) conducted a mission to Bangladesh, to research the GBV (gender-based violence) response for Rohingya women and girls. RI found that the entire humanitarian system is struggling under tremendous constraints in Bangladesh, and protection and health actors do ...deliver lifesaving services to survivors in an incredibly challenging environment. This report, however, focuses on key gaps and challenges in GBV programming, as communicated by practitioners deployed to Bangladesh at various stages of the emergency, by local organizations, and by the affected women and girls themselves.
In the analyses and recommendations provided in this report, RI draws in part from the framework of the international initiative to safeguard women and girls in emergencies — the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies — and urges the donors and humanitarian organizations that are Call to Action partners to implement it more effectively and with urgency during this emergency.

Commissioned by Plan International the report draws on data from research conducted in Bangladesh in April 2018. It explores how adolescent girls within two age brackets (10-14 and 15-19) understand the unique impact the crisis has upon them, and how they have responded to the challenges they face.<...br>
Despite the numbers of adolescent girls affected so profoundly by the ongoing Rohingya crisis, and of course, by many crises around the world, it is rare that either their own communities or the humanitarian sector at large pay much attention to them. This research is an attempt to rectify that: to acknowledge that girls and young women do have rights and that their ideas are worth listening to and acting upon.
Among the many learnings, we discovered that girls feel isolated. They have settled among strangers, and parents worry about their safety, keeping them even more trapped inside their new, makeshift homes.
75% of girls interviewed said they have no ability to make decisions about their own lives.

In northern Myanmar, nearly 100,000 people continue to live in displacement camps in Kachin and northern Shan States. Most were first displaced by fighting between the Myanmar military and the Kachin Independence Army in 2011, and many have been displaced multiple times, including in recent months. ...Approaching seven years of displacement, and despite ongoing and often increasing needs, displaced persons in northern Myanmar face decreasing aid and protection services. Over the past two years, the Government of Myanmar has dramatically increased restrictions on delivery of aid to this displaced population at the same time that the overall amount of aid provided by international donors has decreased.

Le Burkina Faso a été le premier pays d’intervention de HI en Afrique de l'Ouest. L’association y est enregistrée depuis 1991. Cette année-là, en partenariat avec le Ministère de la Santé, l’association œuvra pour la réhabilitation du Centre National d'Appareillage Orthopédique du Bu...rkina (CNAOB). Elle a par la suite soutenu le développement et la mise en place d'autres centres de réadaptation et d’appareillage à travers le pays. Le spectre des interventions de HI s’est ensuite diversifié au fil des années au Burkina Faso.
Aujourd'hui, HI facilite la mise en place d'un réseau régional de réadaptation fonctionnelle et l'intégration de ce réseau dans le système national de santé. HI forme des professionnels de la santé et de la réadaptation fonctionnelle. Grâce à son projet éducatif, l’association facilite l'accès et le maintien d’enfants handicapés à l’école primaire. Afin d'assurer la pérennité de ce projet, l'organisation forme et sensibilise les personnes qui travaillent dans les secteurs du handicap et de l'éducation inclusive.
