Description

The SOP was initiated in 2019 by National Commission for Women and Children together with UNICEF and UNDP. The whole drafting process includes desk reviews of relevant literature, consultations with relevant stakeholders and training for service providers on the SOPs to support their finalization and roll-out. The SOP recognizes four main types of GBV within which there are distinct incident classifications: inflict physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion, and other deprivations of liberty. It also recognizes men and boys being survivors of GBV. The SOP provides comprehensive guidance for different cases involving such as survivors with a Disability, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Emergency Shelter Homes, LGBTQI Survivors and so forth. No explicit provisions establish nationality as a requirement.
