1. Definitions: What is Gender-Based Violence?

2. Screening Tool: This tool assists service providers by providing simple and direct questions to ask clients about different types of violence.

3. Sample Stamp for Client Intake Form to Record Information on GBV: Designed to accompany the Screening Tool, the Stamp allows providers to adapt their client intake forms easily to include information about gender-based violence.

4. Management Checklist: This is designed to help coordinators ensure that the most essential steps in the process of developing a GBV project are being carried out effectively.

5. Legal Framework for Service Providers Addressing Gender-Based Violence: What providers need to know in order to help victims.

 

*It is important to note that many already existing tools produced by a variety of individuals and organizations were used as background information for the elaboration of these documents.

In 2008, our 41 Member Associations in Latin America and the Caribbean provided 29, 819,125 services. We helped improve individual lives, change attitudes and reduce poverty’s grip throughout the region. We drove on rugged mountain roads to serve women living in remote villages, miles from the nearest clinic. We were in the forefront of opposition to restrictive laws repressive policies and that deprive women of their dignity and the right to determine their own reproductive destinies. We also empowered young people through peer education programs and increased their access to appropriate sexual and reproductive health education, information and services.
