REGiSTRATiOn I A s c g e n D e r h A n D b o o k monitoring and evaluation based on sex- and age-disaggregated data 1. percentage of populations of concern in the country for whom age/sex breakdowns are available. 2. percentage of women and men for whom the basic registration data have been collected. 3. percentage of women and men interviewed and registered individually. 4. availability of information by age and sex of individuals and groups with specific needs requiring specific protection services and assistance. 5. percentage of population of concern by sex and age issued with documentation conforming to the standards. 6. frequency with which existing data are updated to record births, new arrivals, deaths and departures, marriages and other changes. 7. frequency of use of demographic profile of the population of concern in planning and implementing protection and assistance activities, and in distribution of non-food items. Coordinate actions with all partners 1. all actors involved in registration are fully aware of the agreed registration process. 2. all actors involved in registration are fully aware of the categories and criteria for those with specific needs. 3. actors in your sector liaise with actors in other sectors to coordinate on gender issues.

In the initial stages of an emergency where populations have been displaced, shelter and site selection are especially important for safety, protection and human dignity, and to sustain family and community life. Women, girls, boys and men have different needs, roles and responsibilities related to shelter/houses. Gender considerations have to be integrated into shelter planning and programme to ensure people affected by crisis benefit equally from safe shelter. Gender considerations in site selection The site of the shelter should not pose additional protection risks to anyone in the population. • Location of sites in close proximity to the border can expose the affected population to raids by armed groups, placing women, girls, boys and men at risk of abuse, abduction or forced recruitment. • Site planning in general should ensure that basic services are easily accessible. Therefore, site planning should assign specific locations for service provisions. If basic services are not easily accessible, women and girls can be exposed to protection risks such as sexual assault during collection of firewood or sexual harassment of children as they walk long distances to school. • Assigning sites for individual or communal shelters should take into consideration proximity to services. Close proximity to basic services frees up time for women, girls, boys and men to undertake other useful activities. Girls and boys will have more time to attend school, women and men to attend training courses and to participate in community activities. • Spontaneous camps and communal shelters in particular have the disadvantage that they can become overcrowded quickly. Overcrowding can lead to increases in violence against women and vulnerability of young men to being recruited for gangs or by rebel groups. ? Have you read section A genDer AnD shelter In emergencIes An ADequAte stAnDArD oF lIvIng, IncluDIng housIng, Is A humAn rIght For everyone • udhr, art. 25 and iCesCr, art. 11 guarantee the right of everyone to a standard of living adequate to ensure health and well-being, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services. this right also implies continuous improvement of living conditions. • in emergency situations, participatory planning must be undertaken to ensure the right to an adequate standard of living for people. although emergency shelter per definition normally does not meet the criteria of “adequate housing,” a number of minimum human requirements are still applicable in the emergency shelter context, i.e. shelters should be designed in such a way as to ensure the right to privacy (art. 12 udhr, art.17 iCCpr), the right to security of person (art.3 udhr, art. 9 iCCpr), the right to health (art. 25 udhr, art. 12 iCesCr) and the right to food (art. 25 udhr, art. 11 iCesCr), etc. • planning must include assessing and ensuring that shelter distribution and allocation to families and households are made in a non-discriminatory manner, without distinction of any kind as stated above. the rights and needs of women, girls, boys, female-headed households, widows and other groups with specific needs should be addressed, possibly through the adoption of affirmative measures like targeted actions that positively impact specific groups. Gender cons derat ons n des gn and construct on Des gn of shelter, fac l t es and serv ces • In most communities, women bear the primary responsibility for household chores, and therefore the design of the sites and shelters must reflect their needs and should be undertaken with them.
