RSSN Standards
Regional Safe Spaces Network Standards
Tool: Terms of Reference
With background, objectives, main activities, network partners, frequency and locations of coordination meetings, co-coordination and communication. The Network will include as an agenda item the opportunity to develop a revised Terms of Reference in order to reflect changes in the context or situation of the organizations.
Tool: RSSN Checklist - Self Audit
The purpose of this checklist is to assist organizations in conducting a self-audit of their existing Safe Space(s) for survivors, children at risk, and other individuals at risk of SGBV or other serious human rights violation who are refugees, asylum- seekers, returnees, internally displaced persons, returnees, people on the move, stateless people and other persons who might be in need of international protection including women, girls, men and boys, and LGBTI persons. The anonymous compilation of data collected by the members of the RSSN with this checklist will be used to assess the progress made at regional level.
Tool: SGBV Disclosure in forced Displacement
This is the public version of HRC’s initial internal report, now jointly released with UNHCR. Later in 2018, HRC and UNHCR will work with members of the RSSN to prioritize and adapt these draft tools for local practice throughout the Americas region. Though time was limited in this pilot project, it is our hope that these initial findings, tools, and recommendations will spur broader and deeper thinking about SGBV disclosure in forced displacement settings generally. We hope that this, in turn, leads to improved protection and support across the globe.
