A considerable number of refugees, 13,509 (from Eritrea, Sudan and Kenya) have been given the chance of resettlement in 3rd party countries.91 To strengthen protection for refugees, the government cooperate with international organizations mainly UN programs and in particular the UNHRC which allocated an annual budget of $78,232,370 in 2012 and $81,690,000 for 2013 to extend the refugee protection program.92 The government in cooperation with UNHCR and other stake holders has undertaken a series of activities to protect the rights of women and children in the refugee camps. These have included education against anti-female stereotypes, provision of alternative power sources in the camps to avoid the possible violence women face when gathering fuel; the creation of organizational structures for refugee women; awareness creation of the national and international laws against Gender Based Violence; Community Police units set up among the refugees in all the refugee camps to protect the rights of refugee society and ensure peace and security; social workers in every camp and gender clubs instituted in all the schools in the refugee camps. All this has helped the efforts to combat gender based violence. In addition, the government, in its efforts to prevent sexual violence and protect victims prepared and implemented the Standard Operating Procedures, which laid down the powers and responsibilities of different stakeholders. Task forces were set up in every camp, zone and in Addis Ababa drawn from governmental organizations and NGOs. These hold monthly discussions on the challenges and possible solutions. The government also provides all kinds of support in the camps to victims of violence and takes appropriate measures against perpetrators. If there are indications that victims are at risk in the camps, the government has prepared temporary safe houses and transfers them until the problem has been properly dealt with.93 Administration for Refugees-Returnee Affairs , Report, pg 2 Administration for Refugees-Returnee Affairs , Report, pg 3 93 Administration for Refugees-Returnee Affairs , Report , pg 4 91 92 107
