Background

About Saba Zariv

I specialize in gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response during emergencies, with extensive experience managing large-scale programs and leading humanitarian response efforts. My approach focuses on working with communities to develop solutions and ensuring that women’s needs and voices are central to decision-making during crises. At the World Health Organization, I coordinate a global initiative to integrate GBV into health emergency responses and create practical guidance for health workers supporting survivors. My background also includes shaping policy, leading impactful advocacy, and coordinating cross-sector efforts to develop comprehensive approaches to GBV in complex emergencies. This experience highlights my ability to drive strategic initiatives and deliver effective, sustainable solutions in challenging environments.
