A Four Country Study of Safe Havens for the Displaced

The following links will bring you to the reports from a survey of SGBV “safe shelters” for displaced persons in four countries: Kenya, Thailand, Colombia and Haiti. The in-country research explored various models of shelters for survivors of SGBV in humanitarian settings and the challenges and strategies relevant to providing this type of shelter. Residents and staff as well as other key informants were interviewed at thirty-seven shelters throughout the four countries.

The research was conducted by the Sexual Violence Program at the Human Rights Center, the Law School of the University of California, Berkeley. UNHCR’s PDES provided logistical support to the research team and sponsored the publication of this study.

The first report is a comparison of the four locations. The following reports are studies from each country:
