During the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, UNFPA is launching the Myanmar Minimum
Standards for Gender Based Violence (GBV) Hotlines (available in English and Burmese). The objective of the
Minimum Standards is to establish a common understanding of what constitutes minimum phone-based support to
GBV survivors in Myanmar. The 12 standards define what organizations delivering these services should prioritize to
improve the quality of GBV hotline services and mitigate practices that may cause unintended harm to survivors and
service providers.
