They take care of the survivors of gender-based violence around the world, but what can organizations do to ensure the safety and well-being of their staff? Panelists at this IGWG event will examine some of the physical and psycho-social impacts on these caregivers from the trauma of being exposed to heartbreaking stories day in and day out, from the lack of resources and overwhelming case loads. Speakers will discuss conditions that caregivers face, prevention and responses strategies that are needed, and resources and trainings that some organizations have already created. In addition, short presentations by members of the gender community of practice on what actions are being taken by their organizations to address this issue.
