5. How To Include The Issue Of Sgbv In Monitoring modalities and mandates of the monitoring mechanisms, as well as on their capacity, levels of expertise and the resources assigned to monitoring each facility. Monitoring teams will need, therefore, to plan strategically to include SGBV based on an analysis of existing information, including the outcome of previous visits and the priorities identified by current and former detainees/prisoners, family members and other relevant individuals. It should be noted that, even if a monitoring visit does not have a SGBV focus or component, it may, nonetheless become apparent that SGBV is a problem, and monitors should be prepared for this eventuality. In such cases, monitors might then decide to prioritize the issue in subsequent visits. Monitors may choose to include the issue of SGBV in their monitoring in different ways, based on strategic, logistical and resource considerations. Therefore, while mainstreaming gender in all activities, the team might decide to undertake a programme of thematic visits with a dedicated focus on SGBV, or they might focus on SGBV in specific facilities in the course of ongoing work. Whichever the chosen strategy, it must be carried out following careful consideration of any potential safety issues. When determining sites to visit or otherwise research in relation to SGBV, monitors could undertake a mapping of the different facilities. This might include the following considerations: • Facilities where little information about levels of SGBV is available; • Those with high levels of reports of SGBV; • Places of deprivation of liberty holding significant numbers of individuals deemed to be at risk of SGBV; • Facilities that have been identified as high-risk environments for SGBV by other monitors, former detainees/prisoners, staff, visitors or other stakeholders; • Locations holding both men and women detainees/prisoners, and those in which women detainees/prisoners are supervised by men staff members; • Particularly overcrowded facilities; • High security facilities; • Facilities in remote locations; • Facilities that have not been monitored recently; and • Facilities that have had a recent change in management. Sometimes, it may be useful to focus on places of deprivation of liberty with few or no reports of SGBV, either to identify and disseminate examples of good practice, or because there may be reasons to believe that SGBV is taking place but is not being 20
