SCC-PAL The programme’s wider context include the ongoing occupation of Palestinian land, the increased fragmentation of the Palestinian population and the suppression of civic space, including delegitimization of Palestinian and Israeli human rights defenders and other civil society actors. In this complex context the programme focuses on the violations of the housing and residency rights of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and Area C. Addressing these violations requires commitment and an active role of a variety of stakeholders. The programme therefore aspires to support human rights defenders and civil society actors in their efforts to counter the repression of civic space (including social media), to prevent specific violations of housing and residency rights, and to address companies in the UN Database and their investors on reducing their involvement in Israeli human rights violations. Interventions may include development of skills and leadership, research, and joint advocacy. Target groups / reach	The programme will in particular work with Palestinian and Israeli (women) human rights defenders, other civil society actors and Palestinian and Israeli citizens. It will address authorities, international duty bearers, companies and financial institutions on their opportunities to contribute to equal rights for Palestinian and Israeli citizens. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.

Implementation and follow-up phase - Module 15. Closing of the Case - Module 16. Case manager - Module 17. Communication skills - Forms This final version of this curriculum serves as a tool for Non GBV specialists, academic personnel, university students and GBV specialized, to get introduced to the GBV concept, problematic and the Case management process. It is also worth mentioning that each module of this curriculum is considered as a standalone training package, allowing diversity of themes and topics for trainings and workshops related to GBV prevention, and ability to target participants with different background and experience. Additionally, ABAAD worked on producing 7 animation videos on the “Do’s and Don’ts” for case workers during their work with GBV survivors that were included in the mobile application and circulated among the GBV actors and their case workers/ case managers. ABAAD sub-commissioned the same mobile developer who created RESPOND mobile App to produce the animation videos. Between September 2017 and June 2018, seven animation videos were completed.

NASEEJ 2- Improving prospects for refugees and vulnerable host communities ABAAD has been implementing NASEEJ-2 according to plan and with few disruptions for most of the project period from its inception until recent developments related to the global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Following minimal disruption to direct services (e.g. the WGSS, MWH, and Men Center) in the light of the political instability of October and November 2019, direct services were able to resume normal operation. Furthermore, following the formation of a new government, ABAAD resumed the coordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) for the launching of the GBV National SOPs as well as the Case Management Curriculum in addition to the self-care curriculum for GBV and CP front-liners. 

In this request for adjustment, direct services are to continue; ABAAD is proposing to adapt its service delivery modality for a period of 6 months in addition to provide food transfers to the most vulnerable families in Lebanon. The project’s overall objective (improve protection prospects for refugees and host communities in Lebanon) and outcome remains unchanged at both outcome 1 (Refugees and vulnerable host communities are better protected against violence and abuse) and outcome 2 (Increased quality SRHR education among refugees and host communities); it is at the output-level that will change, detailed below. This project will aim to target vulnerable individuals, with a special focus on women and girls, with a 50-50 split between host and refugee communities.
Development of a toolkit on gender-sensitive media coverage in conflict/post conflict situation that would include issues related to how to conduct media interviews with GBV survivors, how to deal with trauma affected populations (namely women and children). Please refer to activity identifier  LB-MOI-497-DMFA-ABAAD19-21 Media institutions/personnel The need for a code of conduct to regulate the way journalists and reporters deliver the information and to set limits to how far they can go in smearing the survivors’ reputations and/or jeopardizing their lives, lead to the need of producing a toolkit that would build the knowledge and skills of these journalists on issues related to gender-based violence. This toolkit aims at reaching out to all the journalists/ reporters and training them to better tackle the cases of violence against women and perceive it as part of human rights, and not just another sensual story, in addition to encouraging a deeper understanding of the cases and the best ways of addressing them. For this end, a peer review committee was formed that includes specialists in the GBV sector, academics, trainers and linguists, and the toolkit has been developed. This was steered by desk research on coverage trends of GBV and women survivors of violence, and with the aim of ending negative stereotypes and generalizations of GBV and GBV-survivors, redirecting media coverage to ensure the highest standards of conduct, as well as protecting survivors from defamation. It's composed from seven main chapters: - Introduction - Women’s rights in the international laws - Gender based Violence against women and girls - Principles and associated ethics to cover cases of violence against Women and girls - Gender Sensitive Media- Coverage - How to interview survivors of violence - Terminology - Annexes and document This toolkit was designed for several reasons, some of which being that women in conflict/post-conflict contexts, particularly in the Middle East, are subject to societal and historical/traditional constraints that limit them severely in seeking help for GBV. The media, widely consumed, has a large part to play in the depiction of women survivors of violence in conflict/post-conflict contexts. Rather than portray women as “immoral” or as responsible for the violence perpetrated against them, this tool aims to shift the media lens that covers GBV in these contexts. In the context of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, this toolkit aims to localize the global convention to protect women and children of all nationalities exposed to GBV.
SCC-YEM After the fall of the Saleh regime in 2011, the country has been drawn into a conflict with national, regional and international actors. The country is facing a tremendous humanitarian crisis. Civic space is very limited, since organisations face a lack of protection, funding, capacity and support. Against this backdrop, the SCC programme in Yemen is crucial to create a safe space for CSOs to act and to play active role towards ending the conflict. The main objective of the SCC programme in Yemen is for Yemeni civilians represented by civil society play an active role towards building inclusive peace, reducing civilian suffering through arms control and environmental protection, and ensuring accountability at the local, national and international level. The aim is to expand civic space, particularly by women and youth-led civil society, for civil society to gain access to accountability processes, and strengthen international standards and due diligence on arms control. The target groups are local partner organisations; activists; local councils; small CSOs; national actors; and the international community. A particular focus is on women and youth. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International the Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Organizing 12 roll-out training sessions (two in each governorate) with relevant inter-sectoral referral agencies. Please refer to activity identifier  LB-MOI-497-DMFA-ABAAD19-21 GBV front liners The finalized version of the developed SOP draft was presented to key stakeholders through different existing humanitarian response structures in Lebanon. The presentation workshops, aimed to showcase the content of the GBV SOP and unify the understanding of GBV procedures among front-liners in the field. It was envisaged that this process will create more clear, smooth and sustainable referral pathways for women survivors of or at risk for GBV, and will create lasting relationships between GBV front-liners and Lebanese ministries. These sessions took place during the monthly regular meetings held by the SGBV Task Force, Protection Working Group, MHPSS Working Group and the CMR Task Force at the central levels. Efforts were also geared towards field representation, which was done through the existing sub SGBV and Protection working groups throughout the 4 regions of Lebanon. Feedback collected contributed to adaptation process and modification of the final document accordingly.
SCC-ETH After a period of heavy repression of human rights defenders, Ethiopian authorities allowed more freedom to them in recent years. Legal frameworks developed positively. However, in practice the newly gained freedom is fragile and civic space is curtailed. Repressive actions still threaten the safety and security of journalists and others defending or using their rights to freely express themselves, to assemble or to associate. In particular in conflict situations, widely spread in the country, human rights defenders and activists are at risk of violent actions, both from government agencies and from various political, ethnic armed groups. Violence includes arbitrary arrests and detention, enforced disappearances, rape and other sexual and gender-based violence. The programme aims to support Ethiopian civil society and human rights defenders, including journalists, to strengthen their resilience and capacity to counter civic space constraints and to speak out on human rights issues in safe and secure ways. Trainings and other interventions will e.g focus on physically and digitally safe ways of working, self-care, gender-sensitive reporting and developing strong networks that engage in effective advocacy or dialogues with relevant authorities in Ethiopia or internationally. A second line of work will specifically focus on conflict related human rights violations in the Oromia Region. Applying a community-based approach, the Alliance will work with local civil society to enhance capacities in monitoring, documenting and balanced reporting on human rights violations. Partners will be supported to develop effective ways in using the documented evidence in advocacy for accountability mechanisms and effective actions by government authorities as well as opposition groups to address human rights violations. The programme will mainly work with (women) human rights defenders, journalists and their networks. In the Oromia region it will focus on cooperation with conflict affected communities and their leaders, women’s and youth groups in particular. Background	The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.

Launch a nation-wide media campaign to announce for the help-line GBV holistic services. Please refer to activity identifier  LB-MOI-497-DMFA-ABAAD19-21 nation-wide media campaign to announce help-line for holistic GBV services As a part of ABAAD’s advocacy strategy, the First organized media campaign aims to shed light on holistic services available to survivors to ensure their accessibility That being said, in 2017, ABAAD conducted two nation-wide campaigns to promote the up-scaled Men Center services (71283820). The campaign aimed at sensitizing the public audience in Lebanon about the services of the Men Center.s The campaign included an out-door campaign along with a promotional TV spot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM8KcrPKIR8) . The TVC portrays a man’s voice self-reflecting on conflicting emotions: fear, sadness, and anger. Emotions that have resulted of tiredness, stress, irritation, and at times a feeling of ineptitude and inadequacy. The trigger of these stressors were the loss of an income source among other reasons. "Do I lose control, or do I cry?" pondering this man’s voice. Facing this self-reflection, we see an abused woman trying to hide the bruises on her face, and another woman not showing any bruise, as the silence sometimes hurts much more than any word could. The campaign introduced the services of the Men Center to the general audience as it was able to reach a nation-wide audience through 1000 billboards across the country, tens of community awareness sessions with men along with Men Center Line number distribution, social media and tens of media outputs. The TVC calls for men to consider the effects that anger, abuse, neglect, or violence could have on men’s families. It warns them not to wait until it is too late. It informs them that the low-cost, confidential, and anonymous services of the Men Center is a phone call away. On another note, the project/the Netherlands contributed as well to the 16 Days National campaign of Activism Against VAW 2017 Advocacy campaign calling upon increased sentences in case of incestuous rape by covering printed and audiovisual materials promoting the central Helpline (81788178) to ensure accessibility of GBV survivors to protection services and encourage disclosure.

Produce centralized and systemic helpline services for women survivors of SGBV. Please refer to activity identifier  LB-MOI-497-DMFA-ABAAD19-21 GBV survivors residing in Lebanon Despite the tireless work of NGOs and local partners to provide services and assistance to women survivors and at-risk of SGBV, there still remains a gap in the accessibility to all women, despite their mobility, nationality, sexuality, age or socioeconomic background. For this reason, ABAAD introduced in this project a national, centralized helpline to provide access to and knowledge of existing services (many of which are provided by ABAAD). This helpline provides information to any woman who calls, as well as secure a more comprehensive referral pathway to women with limited mobility, all in line with the aforementioned National GBV SOP. ABAAD conducted two bilateral meetings with the Ministry of Telecommunications (MoT) to discuss possibilities of exemption of fees for this helpline. In order to maintain the national identity and scope of the hotline, ABAAD coordinated with MoSA between June and August 2017 to discuss possibilities to co-producing the service once the National GBV SOP is officially launched. ABAAD in parallel developed the database system, log system, documentation and necessary referral sheets, data analysis, and mapping of the referral systems for the different services, all in line with the National GBV SOP. Four expert social workers in the field of SGBV to has been rotating on management of the helpline calls Following a thorough training on ABAAD’s policies and procedures, gender-sensitive approach, the developed SOP and case management curriculum. During the span of this project, the helpline services received around: - Approximately 1552 women and girls called our helplines/hotlines in 2017 - Approximately 1900 women and girls called our helplines/hotlines in 2018, and they are all GBV-related (including sexual assault, physical abuse, emotional abuse, etc.) out of which 43% are sexual assault.
