Gender Training Material
This Gender Training Kit and Resource Handbook is an all inclusive package consisting of three major components:
(1) a Gender Handbook which contains essential background readings and UNHCR policies, generally consisting of UNHCR public documents (Part I), as well as related training session modules (Part II), and may be used both as a training manual and as a reference book on a variety of gender issues in a refugee context;
(2) a Training Materials section, which contains materials to be used during trainings such as handouts, case studies, role-plays, exercises, overhead transparencies and power point presentations;
(3) and a Gender CD-ROM which contains all of the components of the Gender Training Kit, ready-made power point presentations (in electronic form), the full texts of selected UNHCR and other UN documents, as well as selected individual country guidelines on gender-related persecution.
The seven chapters included in this Gender Kit cover the following: gender training, gender concepts and strategies, women's human rights, sexual and gender-based violence, refugee status determination, interpreting and interviewing, and gender considerations in emergencies.
The Kit therefore covers a range of topics critical to addressing the broad protection and assistance concerns of refugee women, and other gender-related issues. Given that gender issues cut across all sectors of refugee operations, it was felt necessary to be comprehensive and to include the major topics which represent the different aspects of refugee protection and assistance in relation to refugee women and gender. Wherever possible, we have also endeavoured to draw links between these different sectors and issues.
