About ABAAD

ABAAD– Resource Center for Gender Equality is a UN ECOSOC accredited organization that aims to achieve gender equality as an essential condition to sustainable social and economic development in the MENA region.

ABAAD advocates for the development and implementation of policies and laws that enhance women’s effective participation, through a rights-based approach that would bring about tangible change to gender justice.

With the purpose of ending gender-based violence, ABAAD adopts a holistic care approach to provide protection and support services to GBV survivors/right holders during times of peace, war and disasters since 2011.

About the project

The project seeks to provide access to prevention and protection services to Syrian and ION (including Other Nationality) refugees – namely women and girls – affected by or at-risk of Sexual Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the Mount Lebanon governorate; which hosts 194,878 Syrian refugees. This will happen through the provision of emergency safe sheltering and quality case management services, implementation of GBV protection outreach, including referrals and information dissemination, case management for GBV survivors, community empowerment activities, and empowering refugee and host communities to address common protection concerns, and provision of emergency cash assistance (ECA) and protection cash assistance (PCAP). It is anticipated that each element of the project will be strongly integrated with the interventions implemented by other sectors, in order to contribute to a comprehensive and holistic GBV prevention, risk mitigation and response in Beirut and Mount Lebanon.
