Humanitarian workers in disaster settings report a dramatic increase in gender-based violence (GBV). This was true after the 2010 Haiti earthquake when women and girls lost the relative security of their homes and families. Researchers from the United States Virgin Islands and the United States mainland responded by collaborating with Haitian colleagues to develop GBV-focused strategies. To start, the research team performed a situational analysis to insure that the project was culturally, ethically, and logistically appropriate. The aim of this paper is to describe how the situational analysis framework helped the researchers effectively approach this community. Using post-earthquake Haiti as an exemplar, we identify key steps, barriers, and facilitators to undertaking a situational analysis. Barriers included logistics, infrastructure, language and community factors. Facilitators included established experts, organizations and agencies. Researchers in such circumstances need to be respectful of community members as experts and patient with local environmental and cultural conditions.
在受灾地区工作的人道主义救援人员报告称，基于性别的暴力行为（GBV）急剧增加。2010年海地地震后便是如此，当时妇女和女孩失去了家庭给予的相对安全感。美属维尔京群岛和美国本土的研究人员与海地同事合作，制定了针对基于性别的暴力行为的应对策略。首先，研究团队进行了态势分析，以确保该项目在文化、伦理和后勤方面的适宜性。本文旨在描述态势分析框架如何帮助研究人员有效地接触这个社区。以地震后的海地为例，我们确定了进行态势分析的关键步骤、障碍和促进因素。障碍包括后勤、基础设施、语言和社区因素。促进因素包括知名专家、组织和机构。在这种情况下，研究人员需要尊重社区成员，视他们为专家，并对当地的环境和文化条件保持耐心。
