Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remains a serious concern, particularly for women and girls in Somalia. The protective environment remains weak for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and civilians affected by the clan conflicts, regions where the military offensives by the AMISOM and Somali National Army against the Al Shabaab took place, regions affected by the floods, forced evictions and where life-saving services are either limited or facing closure due to funding constraints.
