SPATIAL ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Spatial analysis and assessment is an important tool in analyzing the kinds and forms of humanitarian support that the government and other institutions provides the IDPs. Moreover, it provides visual representation on how the IDPs access their basic needs, services, and security138; explain patterns of the community’s dynamic, behavior, and social divisions through spatial expressions139; and assesses the efficiencies and burdens that sets by the kind of structures and systems within the evacuation centers. In particular, the team employed a rapid assessment focusing on resource mapping for humanitarian assistance. This method was primarily used by the Evacuation Centre Mapping Cluster Team headed by CHR-Region XII. The cluster used photography to document the position and condition of the structures inside the evacuation area. To validate its use, the team interviewed random IDPs who were staying in the area. Moreover, the cluster team used the CHR Monitoring Tool (Form 1-B) as a guideline in their documentation. IDP Narratives and Situation During the Mission The goals of this section is to (1) provide analysis on the multiple layers of vulnerability and/or identities of an IDP that affects their access to rights and opportunities; (2) expose different types of discrimination and disadvantages that occur as a consequence of the combination of these identities; (3) reveal how humanitarian activities and policies shape and impacts the lives of IDPs while living in ECs. To do this, the team employ intersectionality framework and analysis; which, links historical, social, and political contexts 140 to the results of the humanitarian response monitoring gathered in the mission. This indicates how historical and political situation have contributed to the vulnerability of the IDPs; and whether humanitarian assistance, development projects, and policy initiatives are addressing the specific problems faced by different sectors of IDPs. Lastly, in adding to a truly effective human rights system approach, it requires addressing the shortcomings of the government institution’s response to adequately redress those who are most vulnerable and invisible. Likewise, develop a more contextualized interpretations of equality provisions, by focusing on points of intersection, complexity, dynamic processes, and the structures that define the access to rights and opportunities for, rather than on defined categories or isolated issue areas 141. Guided by this framework and analysis, this section is divided in four (4) sub-sections. The first, is the key findings from the humanitarian monitoring gathered by the IDP general, government, and the EC mapping cluster teams, providing structural investigation and analysis on the humanitarian response during the disaster. Second is the summary and analysis of the consolidated narratives and experiences of internally displaced women and LGBTs. It highlights the issues and traumas that are unique to particular groups of women and gender non-binary people, through the assessment of a gendered-rights provisions and protection. The third, is the assessments of the condition and situation of children living in the ECs. Finally, the summary of the immediate actions and human rights response made by the team, during the mission. Organizational Assessments At the start of the armed conflict in 23 May, 2017 the CHR-Region X has been in place assessing and coordinating with local government agencies, including the RHRC of ARMM, regarding the humanitarian situation in Marawi City and its neighboring area. Concerns such as logistics, health, Identification cards, supply chain, security pass, coordination, camp facilities, mental health and others were starting to surface; which were discussed and tried to be remedied in the regular meeting of the respective clusters and at the plenary meeting of the Regional Command and Coordination Center142. On July 2, the team interviewed a representative of NIMT, knowing that they were the team responsible for the flow of information in regards to 138 139 140 See: Abdalla, 2016. ibid. specified in the ‘Understanding the Local’ section of this report 141 this framework is mirrored in the ‘Intersectionality: A Tool for Intersectionality: A Tool for Gender and Economic Justice’ by The Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) https://lgbtq.unc.edu/sites/lgbtq.unc.edu/files/documents/intersectionality_en.pdf 142 See: Appendix J.
