<p>Camps and informal settlements are supposed to be places of refuge and safety for people fleeing conflict and disaster, but they can be dangerous, especially for women and girls. A lack of lighting makes people feel unsafe, especially when they first arrive in a new place and neighbours are strangers. Lighting makes people feel safer and has benefits beyond safety.</p>
<p>Based on research and recommendations summarized in <a href="https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/handle/10546/620605" rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><b><i>Shining a Light: How lighting in or around sanitation facilities affects the risk of GBV in camps</i></b></a>, these tip sheets and tools explore the risks of inadequate lighting, methods to promote gender-sensitive approaches, technical and procurement considerations, and outline a community-based approach to delivering public lighting interventions.</p>
