Executive Summary

This report provides information on incidents of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) reported by survivors in Jordan during 2022. The information was gathered with the consent of survivors who received psycho-social support (through the case management approach) via seven organizations members of the Gender Based Violence Information Management System (GBV IMS) Taskforce. The GBV IMS Task Force is the body responsible for gathering, maintaining and analyzing data related to GBV, along with ensuring the security and protection of sensitive data concerning GBV. The Task Force is also responsible for drafting reports and providing strategic directions to GBV programmes based on identified gaps and trends.

It is important to highlight that the data and trends noted in this report are not representative of the prevalence of GBV in Jordan (or among refugee populations) as these trends are based solely on incidents reported by survivors to the Data Gathering Organizations (DGOs) engaged in GBV response and using the GBV IMS in 2022. It is accordingly not advisable to use these findings as a proxy for the prevalence of GBV in any settings or to use it in isolation to monitor the quality of programmatic interventions. Despite the above limitations, the GBV IMS is considered the highest quality GBV incident data currently available to the humanitarian actors, which can be used effectively for trend analysis and improving coordination of GBV prevention and response
