Organisers: Liminality Research Consortium, Gender Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute.
A multi-stakeholder dialogue brought together UN agencies, international organizations, humanitarian actors, civil society, and community organizations to examine the gendered experiences of transactional sex in displacement settings.
During the meeting, UNFPA and UNHCR presented an overview of the Operational Guidance: Responding to the Health and Protection Needs of People Selling or Exchanging Sex in Humanitarian Settings, while the Liminality Research Consortium shared preliminary findings from its multi-country research across five countries. The discussion provided an opportunity for in-depth conversations on the implications of these findings and ways to inform policy and practice.
