Factsheet on Gender and age-sensitive aid (Last updated 08/03/2021)
Format
What is it?
Natural hazards and human-made crises are not gender neutral: they have a different impact on women, girls, boys, and men of all ages. To respond effectively to the different needs of various gender-related groups, EU humanitarian assistance must take gender into account.
Why is this important?
Integrating gender and age enhances the quality of humanitarian programming, in line with the EU s humanitarian mandate and other international commitments.
Aid that is not gender- and age-sensitive is less effective. It risks not reaching the most vulnerable people or failing to respond adequately to their specific needs. Furthermore, it could expose vulnerable populations to risks such as sexual and gender-based violence.
