WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION LEARNING REPORT – BASELINE 

As part of a global-level project aiming at reducing gender-based violence (GBV) risks in camps and camp-like settings, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Global Cluster sought to understand how women’s participation in governance structures could contribute to reducing risks of GBV.

In 2023 a comprehensive review of the WPP was conducted to compile main findings from the last seven years of implementation to identify challenges, best practices and recommendations within the project.

In brief, the report found that efforts to involve women in camp leadership positions were successful; targeting certain male gatekeepers to be ‘champions of change’ to other men and boys was an effective model; economic empowerment of women did enhance women's social capital and their ability to participate in their communities; but that financial and human resource constraints were recurrent challenges for WPP teams. The findings will play a role in guiding the WPP strategy going forward.
