We argue that by focusing broadly on protection without meaningfully
incorporating analyses of gender and power, protection actors fail to understand and meet the needs of vulnerable women and girls. This paper seeks to generate discussion about how to
resolve the tension between a broad protection agenda and the specialised attention necessary to more fully address gender-based violence (GBV) in emergencies. (From the Executive summary). Information about COFEM comes from the 2017 SVRI workshop presentation. Record #5648
