GWI's Building GBV Evidence program is hosting a four-part webinar series to dive deeper into gaps and opportunities around GBV research in humanitarian settings. The Building GBV Evidence webinar series is based on the findings from a year-long process to map out the existing published evidence and illuminate key research gaps to identify who is missing, what we don’t yet know, and how we can expand our approaches to research and evaluation on this important issue.
This third webinar: Finding the Path Forward: Examining GBV Research and Response beyond the Refugee Camp Context in the Global South featured speakers Rassil Barada, Katherine Gambir, and Dr. Sarah Treves-Kagan.
Rassil (she/her/hers) is a Research, Evaluation, and Learning (REL) consultant based between Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Beirut, Lebanon. Her work in Lebanon focused on building evidence on gender-based violence (GBV) programming through REL at Abaad, a humanitarian organization that provides gender-based violence prevention and response services to refugee, migrant, and host-community residents of Lebanon. At Abaad, she led Lebanon's first service-based research on GBV and mental health for Syrian refugee and Lebanese women with GW's Global Women's Institute and conducted evaluations and learning efforts for Abaad's 3 largest programs. She recently completed her MPH at UNC Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health and plans to continue REL work in sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Her main career goal is to build robust evidence on SRH programming to better understand both supply and demand-side challenges in SRH service delivery.
Katherine Gambir is a gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health professional and humanitarian researcher with over 10 years of experience in global health research management and public-private health consulting. As Senior Research Advisor at the WRC, Katherine leads robust research and evaluation initiatives on sexual violence and child marriage in humanitarian contexts. She currently leads Phase 2 of the Sexual Violence Project Against Men and Boys, building capacity of humanitarian frontline workers to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation among adolescent boys, male youth, and LGBTIQ+ youth. She is the Research Director for the Child Marriage in Humanitarian Settings Initiative, chairs the IAWG on Reproductive Health in Crises task team on male survivors of sexual violence, and is a member of the GBV AoR Community of Practice and GBV Guidelines Reference Group.
