Guiding Principles for Working with Gender-Based Violence Survivors

This tool takes a survivor-centered approach to gender-based violence to help providers create a supportive environment, ensure safety and dignity to promote a survivor's recovery, and reinforce the survivor's capacity to make decisions about possible interventions.

The document highlights the keys to working with those who have experienced gender-based violence: safety; confidentiality; respect; nondiscrimination; and honesty. It also provides a checklist of dos and don's for working with survivors of gender-based violence. JSI/AIDSFree Project. 2019.
