Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI) gaps have been revealed through the response to the mpox virus. These gaps highlight how certain populations have been disproportionately affected or inadequately addressed during the outbreak response. Here are some of the key PGI gaps identified (please read the document).

This document, published by the IASC GBV AOR for East and Southern Africa highlights the gendered impacts of MPox virus, in this case highlighting the impact on women and girls.

The pilot IFRC and Sesame Workshop play-based assessment tool of children’s wellbeing is designed to engage young children, ages 4-8 years, and families as part of assessments in emergency or non-emergency settings.

Children often represent a significant, or even a majority, of the people affected by disasters and other crises. However, the needs of young children are rarely assessed directly with children, and especially those from marginalized backgrounds. And although every child has the right to participate in decisions that affect them, young children rarely have opportunities to have their voices heard in a meaningful way.

Without appropriate child participation, humanitarian programming is inherently ineffective because it does not draw on the perspectives or needs and capacities of children and their families.

This case study provides an overview of actions and learning from British Red Cross programming with Unaccompanied and Separated Children. In particular through one-to-one support, life skills capacity building, and advocacy to authorities to improve protection and assistance for children who are alone.
