    Introduction

    The overall goal of HIAS’ global GBV Prevention and Response programming is for forcibly displaced refugee women, girls, sexual and gender minorities to pursue their potential and to access their human and legal rights, free from violence and oppression.

    (1) Forcibly displaced women, girls, sexual and gender minorities face a reduced risk of GBV,

    (2) Survivors of sexual and physical violence have access to coordinated psychosocial, health, and legal services,

    (3) Family, community, and institutions support refugee women, girls, sexual and gender minorities in accessing and using their rights.
