 Hello, my name is Monika Noriega and I work under the Department of Operations and Emergencies and I work with the team that has been leading the efforts to ensure the GBV prevention, mitigation and response is an integral part of all IOM crisis operations. This means working towards achieving that all crisis-affected persons, but especially women and girls, live free from GBV. For the past four years we've been working to ensure that IOM staff have the skills, the knowledge, the tools to properly do this, but it also means that we've been working to create the structures to ensure that the safety, dignity, well-being and equitable access to services for women and girls is prioritized, integrated and coordinated. Two months ago we took a very exciting step and the organization put its commitments on GBV into this tool, which is the GBV in crisis framework. We're very proud of all the work that IOM is doing on GBV and we're excited to see how more and more missions are putting these commitments into practice. So we want to take advantage of the 16 days of activism to remember the challenges that women and girls face in emergencies. We want to keep survivors in the center because that's the inspiration for all the work that we do and we want to honor some of the colleagues who are working to support them, who are working to mitigate GBV risks and who are working to address its root causes. So we hope that you will be as inspired as we are with all these examples and we hope that you will join us to drive more change and to do more to address GBV in crisis.
