GBV / VAWG Migration
Introduction
Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. Working closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It saves lives and protects people on the move, drives solutions to displacement, and facilitates pathways for regular migration, while providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Project Context and Scope:
Vanuatu is highly vulnerable to natural hazards including tropical cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, flooding, and other climate-induced disasters. During emergencies and displacement situations, women, girls, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups face heightened risks of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), including sexual exploitation and abuse, domestic violence, and other protection risks.

IOM, with technical and financial support from UN Women, is currently implementing a project to ensure that evacuation centres are safe, accessible, and responsive to the needs of women and girls, and other vulnerable groups. This work is supported by UN Women through the Pacific Partnership to End Violence Against Women (Pacific Partnership) programme, funded primarily by the Government of Australia, and the European Union, and coordinated by UN Women and the Pacific Community (SPC), in strategic partnership with the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF).

As part of this process, IOM and UN Women will review and update the GBV and Protection Risk Mitigation Guidelines for Evacuation Centres, , and produce Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials that promote GBV prevention, mitigation, reporting pathways, and survivor-centred approaches and develop and deliver training material to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders.
