Safe Haven: Sheltering Displaced Persons from Sexual and Gender-Based Violence - Case Study: Haiti

This study seeks to explore and improve understanding of the options for immediate, temporary shelter for refugees, IDPs, and other migrants fleeing sexual and gender-based violence in countries affected by conflict or natural disaster. Shelter, here, may be in the form of a traditional safe house, a network of community members’ homes, or other safe spaces coordinated by a base organization. The aim was to generate research-based evidence to inform donors, policymakers, and international and local actors about types of relevant models, priority challenges, and promising practices.
