Global Survivors Fund
We believe that all survivors of conflict-related sexual violence from around the world must have access to reparations and other forms of redress- no matter if the states or other parties responsible for the violence are unwilling or unable to provide reparations. We place survivors at the centre of our work, co-creating the reparative journey with them; from programme conception, to design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Our approach is rooted in the knowledge that survivors, as right-holders, are best placed to explain what their needs are. Our three pillars of Act, Advocate, and Guide ensure that our programmes are tailor-made to the unique challenges and opportunities of each conflict or post-conflict situation where we work while collaborating with multiple stakeholders. We use a holistic approach in all our work to respond to the interconnected consequences that conflict-related sexual violence has on people.
