With 128 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, 65 million people displaced and the average length of displacement being 17-25 years, crises have become the ‘new normal’. Crises affect women and men, boys and girls differently, and women and girls are disproportionately affected in terms of reduced access to livelihoods, education and health and the threat of sexual and gender-based violence. Yet, when crisis strikes, humanitarian response has not always factored in these differential impacts. Without specific guidance, tools and know-how, humanitarian action run the risk of being gender-blind.
