Women displaced by conflict or natural disaster adopt new strategies to provide for themselves and their families. These new strategies often place them at risk of gender-based violence (GBV). The Women’s Refugee Commission found that the evidence of impact on protection from livelihood approaches in crisis settings is scarce, and that the literature on impact from noncrisis settings is fragmented and focuses predominantly on domestic violence. This guidance is therefore based on promising practices on how to design safe economic programs and livelihood activities.
