Integrating the Issue of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Detention Monitoring reported. Monitors might also decide to specifically monitor facilities that already have an effective zero tolerance policy towards SGBV, in order to understand how this works in practice and to develop practical recommendations for other facilities. When monitors decide to include or prioritize the issue of SGBV during monitoring visits, they should prepare the composition of the team accordingly in terms of the diversity of its composition and relevant knowledge possessed by its members. 5.2 Setting Clear Objectives in Relation to SGBV When planning to include the issue of SGBV in regular monitoring, or in SGBV-specific monitoring, teams should set clear, achievable objectives, with measurable outcomes. Broadly speaking, the monitoring teams should aim to: > Understand the context in which SGBV occurs in detention locations, including relevant laws, regulations and procedures; > Research the types and extent of SGBV occurring in each facility; > Identify the groups or individuals most at risk of SGBV, and why this is the case; > Understand why it is that individuals become perpetrators of SGBV in places of deprivation of liberty; > Understand if SGBV is under-reported and, if so, the reasons why detainees/prisoners and staff do not report instances of SGBV; > Gain a good understanding of the attitudes of management, staff and detainees/ prisoners towards the issue of SGBV; > Assess the effectiveness of existing mechanisms designed to prevent and to respond to allegations of SGBV within specific facilities, and in the justice system more broadly; and > Review internal monitoring and official complaints mechanisms. Once the general objectives have been set in relation to SGBV, monitoring teams can more easily determine the specific fact-finding needs when planning to visit particular places of deprivation of liberty. These might include: > The composition of the prison population, including its gender composition and the known population of groups that might be in particular situations of vulnerability; > The size and location of the detention facility; > Staff composition, including gender balance; > The security level of the facility; > Previous complaints, investigations and prosecutions related to SGBV; and 21
