Gender Handbook in Humanitarian Action

Inter-Agency Standing Committee

Published in : 2006

Available in : English

This Handbook sets forth standards for the integration of gender issues from the outset of a new complex emergency or disaster, so that humanitarian services provided neither exacerbate nor inadvertently put people at risk; reach their target audience; and have maximum positive impact.

The target audience for this Handbook is field practitioners responding to humanitarian emergencies that result from conflict or natural hazards.

The Handbook is divided into two sections: A: Fundamental Principles and B: Areas of Work. Section A should be studied by all readers and used in combination with the specific sector chapters in Section B.
