Regional Gender Task Force

A new report published by the Regional Gender Task Force (RGTF), the leading advocacy and information and coordination platform on gender in humanitarian action in Europe and Central Asia, provides an in-depth analysis of existing evidence to increase understanding of gender and other social aspects and trends across the region.

The report, entitled Making the Invisible Visible: An evidence-based analysis of gender in the regional response to the war in Ukraine, focuses on four areas of concern:

  • Participation and leadership of women-led organisations, women’s rights organisations, women and marginalised groups
  • Prevention, mitigation, and response to gender-based violence
  • Access to and availability and enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights
  • Intersectionality of gender and diversity factors affecting the multiple and intersecting challenges faced by women, girls, boys, and men.

Targeting policymakers, donors and actors working directly on the ground, the regional analysis focuses on secondary analyses from Ukraine and neighbouring countries, including Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, from 13 April to 31 August 2022.
