IntroductionFollowing the agreement reached during the GBV AoR thematic meeting on dignity kits was held and an ad hoc Task Team on Dignity Kits was established. Comprising partners with extensive experience and high distribution volumes, the Task Team was tasked with supporting the standardization of dignity kit contents and enhancing their relevance to the needs of affected populations.To inform this process and ensure that the voices of women and girls are central to the design and distribution of dignity kits, the GBV AoR in Ukraine—in line with GBViE Minimum Standard 2 (Women’s and Girls’ Participation and Empowerment) and Standard 16 (Assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation1)—led a round of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in collaboration with IRC, IMC, and UNFPA.To complement the qualitative findings and ensure broader beneficiary feedback, UNFPA also conducted a Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) survey, using a standardized methodology to assess the usefulness, relevance, and effectiveness of the dignity kit contents.This report summarizes the key findings from both the FGDs and PDM survey and aims to inform the ongoing standardization and contextual adaptation of dignity kits in Ukraine.
