This tool is intended for use by UNHCR, SGBV, CP and other protection service providers within the Regional Safe Spaces Network and other agencies providing multi-sectoral services to provide counselling and conduct referrals across borders. It is not intended for the purpose of developing awareness-raising materials and is not to be disseminated in the community without previous adaptation. The tool is to be developed by and shared between organizations in the Network and other relevant agencies providing specialized SGBV, CP and other humanitarian and protection services, to refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs, returnees, stateless persons, people on the move and others who might be in need of international protection.

The toolkit is a living document that will be reviewed and updated as the Network expands and develops new tools. At present, more than 50 organizations providing services in seven different countries are members of the Network and it is expected that new members and countries will join it.
