for those in audience for #genderbasedviolence panel at #HuCoB16, we've just published a gap analysis into #GBV: bit.ly/InnovatingGBV
Talking GBV in humanitarian. Felicitas Ibanez on the need for evaluation. MdM found shocking treatment of women on period in Ebola crises
Even at a conference dominated by medical students and health practitioners,a lot of people seem to like to smoke here in Germany! #HuCoB16
