egistration provides the basis or planningprogrammes, providing assistance and ensuringprotection in times o crisis. The characteristicso a population (including the sex and age breakdownsand the number and type o groups with specic needs)help to determine the protection services and assistanceor the population in need. Monitoring and evaluationdepends on valid population numbers, which shouldbe disaggregated by sex and age in order to measureeverything rom the crude mortality rate and the type andnumber o latrines required to the appropriate shelterarrangements or girl- and boy-headed households andpersons with disabilities.It is important to ensure that there is
no diference intreatment between women and men.
We need to putappropriate systems in place during registration to ensurethat both women and men have
equal access
to individualregistration and documentation. Moreover, it is vital thatwe record each specic protection
at the individual level.
I individual registration is not easible at the beginning,we should ensure individual registration o persons withspecic needs and circumstances. Besides identicationdocuments, other documents are vital or guaranteeingprotection. Examples include individual birth, marriage,divorce and death certicates.We must include women and men as equal partners inthe decision-making bodies and processes relating to theplanning o registration. It is also important to be awareo the potential risks o abuse and violence against girlsand women during registration. Possible risks include ha-rassment by certain segments o the community, thoseinvolved in registration or by other external actors. There-ore, monitoring systems are important.
What do We need to knoWto plan and implementgendeR-ResponsiveRegistRation pRocesses?
Designing the registrtion system
• Is the registration process designed with the inputo women and men who are to be registered?• Does the physical set-up o registration ensure privacyand condentiality or women and men?• Does the registration system ensure that people are notin danger in terms o security, amily conict or humanrights abuse?• What type o training is provided to registration staf?• Is there an agreement on the categories o specicneeds to be identied during the registration?• Is there a mechanism to record women, girls, boys ormen with specic needs within the household and tomake reerrals to appropriate existing services?• Are all unaccompanied and separated childreninterviewed by a qualied and appropriately trainedinterviewer?• Are interviewers aware o and inormed o how to regis-ter diferent amily structures that may exist (e.g. single-headed households, polygamous amilies)?• Is each household member recorded by sex and agegroup, as a minimum?• I household registration is taking place, are the nameso the emale and male heads o households beingdocumented?

• What systems are in place to record individuals —women and men — in each household with reerencesto their relationships to each other?• Are there questions that assume an answer only romthe male member o the household?• Are all registered persons, including women and chil-dren, provided with appropriate documentation suchas birth, death, marriage and divorce certicates and,in the case o reugees and asylum seekers, certicatesattesting to their status by the appropriate body?
access to the registrtion system
• Has the reason or registration been clearly explainedto women and men and do they have access to the in-ormation, both written and illustrative?• Is every individual guaranteed direct access to the reg-istration process without intererence rom other com-munity members?• Is the population being registered without discrimina-tion to their sex?• Is each household member, including women, given anindividual and condential registration interview by aqualied and appropriately trained interviewer?
actions to ensuRe gendeRequality and the equal Rightto RegistRation, documenta-tion and population datamanagement
Designing the registrtion system
• Ensure equal numbers o women and men are part o the registration team.• Train interviewers to understand the diferent needso women, girls, boys and men and how to interviewthem appropriately.• Train women and men to provide appropriate guidanceand timely reerrals regarding saety and specic needs.• Ensure that women have the option to request a e-male interviewer.• Involve women and men in the review and validationo the registration methodology.• Ensure that systems are in place to maintain and analysesex- and age-disaggregated data o the population.• Maintain data in secure places.• Ensure condentiality during registration, especiallyor those with specic needs such as emale-headedhouseholds, separated and unaccompanied children,individuals with specic protection and/or securityrisks, persons with disabilities, persons living with HIV/AIDS and other individuals at risk.
access to the registrtion system
• Establish inormation-sharing meetings on registrationwith women and men awaiting registration to provideopportunities or them to clariy issues and concernsthat they may have.• Set up mechanisms so that women and men partici-pate in inorming the community about registrationprocesses and concerns.• Ensure equal access to registration sites or both wom-en and men, with a separate queue or women andchildren i preerable.• Institute mechanisms to monitor registration systemsto prevent exploitation and abuse.• Involve women and men in monitoring access to reg-istration sites.
