dc.description<p>In every humanitarian crisis, humanitarian agencies, donors, and governments should seek to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG) and gender-based violence (GBV) in emergencies. This includes reducing risks across humanitarian programmes, increasing access to services for survivors, tackling the root causes of violence, and promoting women&rsquo;s rights. Oxfam is committed to promoting gender equality and preventing GBV through the implementation of its <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/oxfam-minimum-standards-for-gender-in-emergencies-305867" target="_blank">Minimum Standards for Gender in Emergencies</a>. In addition, and particularly in conflict and transition contexts, donors, governments, UN agencies, civil society, armed forces and peacekeepers should advance women&rsquo;s rights, and undertake special measures to ensure their protection from GBV/VAWG.</p> <p>More information on Oxfam's Humanitarian Policy Notes can be found in the&nbsp;<a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/our-work/conflict-disasters/humanitarian-policy-notes" target="_blank">Our Work</a>&nbsp;section of the website.</p>en_US
