Overview

This desk review summarizes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender-based violence (GBV) health-related services in Bangladesh (Cox’s Bazar), Iraq, and Northeastern Nigeria. Given the focus on GBV health-related services in humanitarian settings, a review of broader COVID-19 national country plans is not included. Literature and evidence published between March 2020 and May 2021 inform the summary.
