The Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for GBV in Emergencies is a global framework designed to ensure that humanitarian aid for survivors is safe, ethical, and high-quality. Developed by the Global Women’s Institute (GWI) and Trócaire, it establishes 16 essential standards—such as healthcare, safe spaces, and legal aid—prioritizing a survivor-centered approach. Because data collection in conflict zones can increase risks for women, the framework mandates strict "do no harm" protocols, including the use of female enumerators, encrypted data storage, and informed consent to prevent retaliation or re-traumatization.
