The Resource Kit is a result of the multi-year collaborative action-based research project 鈥淩efugee Women and Girls - Key to the Global Compact on Refugees鈥 undertaken in Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand, 2018 - 2024. The aim of the project was to monitor the implementation of commitments to women and girls in the UNHCR Global Compact on refugees.

It is important that facilitators read this material before presenting the modules, as it explains where the idea came from came from, why it is so important, and what we can do to make commitments to refugee women and girls a reality. They can also be provided to participants as handouts.

Rationale 鈥 what is this tool and why is it necessary?

The programme of action is underpinned by a strong partnership and participatory approach, involving refugees and host communities, as well as age, gender, and diversity considerations, including: promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls; ending all forms of sexual and gender-based violence, trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation and abuse, and harmful practices; facilitating the meaningful participation of youth, persons with disabilities and older persons; ensuring the best interests of the child; and combating discrimination. See (LIX) (2008), (f)-(k).

PowerPoint slides with slide notes

This PowerPoint presentation will introduce participants to the key points and project background they will need to understand before they embark on using the tools and exercises. We strongly suggest that if possible, participants be required to read this material before starting the training sessions. If this is not possible because people do not speak English or are pre-literate, it would be useful for the facilitator to spend extra time familiarising them with the content.
