CLARA: Cohort Livelihoods & Risk Analysis Guidance
August 5, 2016 - The CLARA tools capture risks associated with livelihoods, including gender-based violence. They can be used as standalone tools or alongside other assessment tools.
Assets in emergency contexts are a double-edged sword: they can help people overcome crises but can also quickly turn into liabilities, increasing vulnerability to GBV and insecurity. Women, girls, boys and men experience these dynamics differently, and their risks of violence are unique.

Spike in Numbers of Migrant Children Arriving Alone in Europe Raises Exploitation Risks - Girls
Children rely on smugglers, making them prone to exploitation, rape, forced labour, beatings and death: UNICEF
By Magdalena Mis | | Thomson Reuters Foundation
LONDON, June 14, 2016 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - More than nine out of ten refugee and migrant children arriving in Europe through Italy this year are travelling alone, the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said on Tuesday, warning of "appalling" risks children face while escaping conflict and poverty.
The 2015 OECD Recommendation of the Council on Gender Equality in Public Life promotes a government-wide strategy for gender equality reform, sound mechanisms to ensure accountability and sustainability of gender initiatives, and tools and evidence to inform inclusive policy decisions. It also promotes a “whole-of-society” approach to reducing gender stereotypes, encouraging women to participate in politics and removing implicit and explicit barriers to gender equality.
This Recommendation is unique, as it provides not only governments, but also parliaments and judiciaries, with clear, timely and actionable guidelines for effectively implementing gender equality and gender mainstreaming initiatives, and for improving equal access to public leadership for women and men from diverse backgrounds.
