Terms of Reference Consultancy Title: Erbil/Kurdistan/Iraq Duty Station:
Emergency GBV Case Manager – Erbil / Refugee camps
BACKGROUND The Syrian Crisis has forced hundreds of thousands to seek refuge in neighbouring countries, currently more than 2260,000 Syrian are registered as refugees inside the region of Kurdistan/Iraq. And after the conflict between Iraq and coming of ISIS, 550,000 IDPs are present in Kurdistan/ Iraq, As it is often the case in any humanitarian crises, women and girls face increased risk of violence and in particular camp settings, where living spaces are confined, infrastructures are weak and activities are limited, therefore, tension arises and psychological wellbeing is disturbed. Forms of gender based violence became common with specific forms such as domestic violence, sexual harassment and abuse, trafficking and to a lesser degree economic exploitation and early/ forced marriage. The latter one is quite problematic since many families revert to this option as a sort of protection and coping mechanism given the cultural context and already prior structural practices where the husband is expected to provide financial and physical protection. UNFPA responded by supporting AL_Mesalla organization by establishing women spaces in Erbil and district with aim of using it as a social space and a base to raise awareness about gender issues and about the risks of GBV.
