Bi-annual report of the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR)
Women and girls continue to face gender-based violence (GBV) risks associated with the ongoing-armed conflict in Cabo Delgado that began in 2017. These risks have been exacerbated by climatic hazards (e.g. Cyclones Idai and Kenneth in 2019 and Gombe in March 2022), which have caused mass displacements in a country where even before these conflicts, gender inequalities were deeply rooted in prevailing socio-cultural norms and practices, such as early and forced marriage and transactional sex. Under the leadership of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the co-chairing role of Fundação Ariel, the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR) in Cabo Delgado coordinates GBV prevention and response by partners in Northern Mozambique. The GBV AoR met bi-weekly over the last 6 months, with attendance by 36 organizations. The Strategic Advisor Group met quarterly, and the Case Management Technical Working Group was recently revived.
