Key takeaway Following the resumption of conflict in March, reported incidents increased sharply by 75.
Why this matters
The surge in reported gender-based violence incidents in Lebanon, particularly among internally displaced persons, raises concerns about the vulnerability of displaced populations, especially women and girls. The increase in displaced survivors accessing GBV services, from 12 per cent in April to 21 per cent in May, suggests that the humanitarian response may need to adapt to address the specific needs of this population. The fact that intimate partner violence remains the predominant context of reported incidents highlights the need for targeted prevention and response efforts. Furthermore, the report's call for expanded mobile and community-based GBV services underscores the importance of accessible and specialized support for survivors. As humanitarian organizations respond to the crisis in Lebanon, they must prioritize GBV prevention and response, ensuring that services are tailored to the needs of displaced populations and that referral pathways are strengthened to provide timely and effective support.
