World Education-supported UNFPA Companion Guide on Gender-based Violence in Emergencies is launched

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), with support from World Education, has launched a companion guide to its free e-learning course for professionals who are working to address gender-based violence in humanitarian contexts.

The e-learning course uses problems that practitioners currently face and case scenarios from real-life humanitarian contexts to guide learning. Integrated throughout the modules are videos, learning activities, and quizzes that engage and support participants’ varying learning styles.

The 146-page guide features the entire e-learning course transcript as well as new material, including "Programmes in Focus" (illustrative examples of GBV programming in action), "Voices from the Field" (first-person accounts from practitioners who have experienced and implemented the concepts covered in the course), and "Thinking Locally" (short segments that encourage practitioners to consider how they would apply course concepts to their own contexts). Also included are additional case study questions that help participants explore the content more thoroughly and allow the guide to be used for training.

World Education edited and designed the format of the guide and advised on the original e-learning course development.
