Household Surveys as a Component of GBV Risk Assessment 

What: A household survey is a questionnaire that is obtained by interviewing the (usually) head of household, or a person who can respond on behalf of the whole household and its members.

Type of data that can be collected: Household surveys lend themselves for obtaining data, mostly on availability and accessibility of the AAAQ framework. Other questions - for example safety perceptions - are possible, but they must be very carefully crafted. Keep in mind that respondents to HH surveys are usually male (heads of household), which influences the data and the extent to which women and girls’ perspectives and voices are included. Avoid any questions that ask after experiences of GBV.
