FIJI FLOODS 2012 Gender Integration in the FRCS Response

Outline  share reflections and observations of FRCS integration of gender in the recent Fiji flood response  discuss against good practice of gender integration in disaster response/relief  identify what entry points exist for UN Women and Gender Surge Group to help strengthen cluster effectiveness and gender integration during response

But first – stories from the field  Participation in the Gender Surge Group  3 day informal trip to observe social protection risks  12 days assistance with FRCS Health and Care Team assessment and distribution of NFI’s  12 days informal observation of awareness raising and capacity building needs in FRCS  Liaison with UNFPA to procure and distribute dignity packs and FWCC materials to flood affected areas

Pair Buzz (5 mins) 1. Why do you think gender integration is important to consider during disaster response? 2. What do you think are some key gender issues and opportunities highlighted? 3. What do you think are some of the different impacts on men, women, boys and girls of the Fiji floods? 4. What do you think are the characteristics of gender relations in Fiji? How do you think these affect disaster response?

Good Practice Checklist  SADD (separate interviews)  Gender Balanced Assessment Teams  Inclusive Distribution  Feedback on relief items (appropriate/responsive)  Male and Female Health Personnel  Reproductive Health Needs  Psychosocial Support includes dv/gender roles  Gender sensitive shelter  Identify vulnerable groups and protection issues

What did FRCS do?  SADD (separate interviews) Within the first 7 days Guidelines for Gender Inclusive Assessment introduced to support collection of SADD by volunteers  Gender Balanced Assessment Teams Branches maintain gender balanced assessment teams  Inclusive Distribution Distribution responds to household assessment via existing gendered structures of decision making

What did FRCS do?  Feedback on relief items Procured and distributed 1200 Dignity Packs through UNFPA to meet the perceived needs of females in flood affected areas. Distribution Guidelines. Inclusion of condoms. In field feedback.  Reproductive Health Needs Inclusion of condoms and info on dv.  Psychosocial Support includes dv/gender roles In field observation of entry points for psychosocial support and counseling – as first responders

What did FRCS do?  Gender sensitive shelter In field observation of transitional shelter/evacuation centres  Identify vulnerable groups and protection issues In field observation of social protection risks and entry points for FRCS capacity building Engagement/Information Sharing/Coordination with women’s and disability networks

Progress towards gender equality  For FRCS we have a strong agenda to be impartial and inclusive and respond to all needs  In the immediate term FRCS addressed the practical gender needs of women, but not strategic gender needs  Do not transform gender relations or challenge structures of inequality. E.g. Women not meaningfully involved in decision-making  Requires incremental and ongoing capacity building within the National Society on gender/inclusion with focus on community based strategies

FRCS: 3 P’s (policy, programming) Policy, strategy/guidelines, mechanisms and tools to strengthen gender and social inclusion (technical support) Gender/inclusion training for key program staff. Training in assessment and analysis of vulnerabilites and capacities more broadly (protection) Incorporation of gender/inclusion modules into existing training programs (DM/Health) Strengthen M&E and community feedback on DM/response (not systematic/priority needs) Strengthening community based disaster risk reduction with a strong gender sensitive component (analysis of gender roles, division of labour, capacities, resources)

FRCS: 3 P’s (partnerships) Develop working partnerships with local partners experienced in this area of programming Strengthen multi-stakeholder relationships especially at branch level for community preparedness and response

UN Women Entry Points (1/2)  Map organizational capacity by grassroots and national actors in humanitarian response  Map networks, stakeholders and organisational capacity which can be mobilized during response phase 24-72hrs  Identify trigger points for these to be mobilized during disaster response:  Contribute to post-flood review – development of questions and analysis, monitor implementation  Identify practical actions to be taken by GoF to respond to different needs  Advocacy during review and/or development of National Action Plan/GoF

UN Women Entry Points (2/2)  Advocacy and sensitisation of GoF to Sphere Humanitarian Charter  Technical capacity on gender analysis and mainstreaming in DRM  Monitor/advocate for gender analysis questions in cluster as per IASC marker  Technical capacity to NDMO for gender analysis within first hours  Strengthen gender and inclusion in PHT especially through strong coordination with protection cluster (inclusion focus)  Summarise situational analysis (UNFPA) for use in community based protection, disaster plans by range of humanitarian actors  Strengthening capacity of existing CBO’s and NGO already engaged in gender sensitive approaches to community based disaster preparedness
