Report
EMAP is an evidence-based program approach to prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG) that centers their voices while simultaneously working with men to address the root causes of Gender Based Violence (GBV). It has been implemented for more than 20 years in humanitarian settings in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. In 2023, for the first time in IRC’s experience, through the funding secured by the CERV-2022-DAPHNE program, EMAP was piloted in Europe, in Greece and Italy, with men and women from the refugee/migrant population and the local population.
This toolkit is a complementary resource to support the work of GBV practitioners who wish to implement gender-transformative, community-based primary prevention interventions in similar contexts and give an overview of key lessons learned from direct implementation. Readers are highly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the comprehensive resource package of EMAP available online on the IRC’s GBV Responder’s Network. The present document offers a more concise and contextualized version.
