So what is "Women's Work" exactly?  Well, it can take many forms, depending on what area of the world she lives in.  In refugee settings however, women's work takes on even more significance, as traditional societal structures and safety nets are altered within a displacement setting.  It's important to assure women's work is safe work. 

If you're a humanitarian worker or programmer working in either Livelihoods or Gender-based Violence prevention, you might also be interested in taking this     1-hour Preventing Gender-based Violence, Building Livelihoods E-learning Tool offered free from the WRC's Safe Livelihoods team. It will be an hour of yours well spent to make work safer for women!
