Investigating Gender Based Insecurity & Mobility: Formative qualitative research in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Haiti

This report summarizes the findings and initial programmatic recommendations for Concern Worldwide from the first phase of a multipart study of gender based insecurity and mobility among the urban poor. This first phase consisted of formative qualitative research from three cities: Dhaka, Bangladesh; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The research informs these recommendations as well as the development of a pilot instrument to measure gender based insecurity and its impacts among the urban poor. A formal analysis for peer-review publication will follow this working paper.
