GBV overview 2022

- People in need (PiN) for GBV as per 2022 draft HNO is 5.8 M an increase from 3.5M in 2021 

- In 2022, the target is 2.2 M people to be reached with GBV interventions, an increase from 1.1 M in 2021 – (100% increase)

- The escalation of conflict in Northern Ethiopia led to a substantial increase of GBV, especially sexual violence across Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions. Response still needs to be strengthened.

- In Northern Ethiopia high numbers of sexual violence cases were reported in Tigray, Amhara, and Afar during the conflict period (Reports from the regional bureaus)

- GBV response needs are also high in Benishangul Gumuz, Somali, Oromia and SNNP regions as a result of conflict and drought. 

- Ethiopia currently has 45* one stop centres in the different regions which are core in the GBV response

- Ease of access to Tigray for supplies (including dignity kits and RH kits), increase in cash allowance & movement of staff is a positive step for much needed GBV response .

- 124 Woredas in Somali , Oromia, SNNP and South West  regions are affected by the drought.
