What is the Call to Action?
The Call to Action on Protection from Genderbased Violence in Emergencies is a global multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to transform the way humanitarian actors prevent and address gender-based violence. A video introducing the initiative can be found on the Call to Action website: www.calltoactiongbv.com.
Partners in the Call to Action have come together to achieve a common goal: that every humanitarian operation – from the very start – includes efforts to reduce the risks of genderbased violence, especially violence against women and girls, and to provide safe and comprehensive services for GBV survivors.
At the Global level, Call to Action partners include donor countries, international organizations/United Nations agencies and NGOs. The lead of the global Call to Action rotates among Donor Countries. Global leadership of the Call to Action in 2025-2026 is Norway. The full list of global partners can be found at: www.calltoactiongbv.com/partners.
The document that guides the work of Call to Action Partners at the global level is the Call to Action Road Map 2021-2025 (www.calltoactiongbv.com/what-we-do). The global Road Map identifies the priority outcomes and actions that are required to meet the three inter-linked objectives of the Call to Action:
Services and programs are in place for GBV survivors.
Actions to reduce the risk of GBV are integrated across all sectors of the response.
Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is mainstreamed throughout humanitarian action so that we are addressing the root causes of GBV.
