Over the past decades, patterns of sexual violence in humanitarian settings have been influenced by a rise in conflict, mass displacement and disruption in the rule of law. Sexual violence is a form of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) that is present in all societies. SGBV and especially sexual violence are usually exacerbated by disruption of the social fabric resulting from conflict or natural disasters.
With funding from the European Union, Save the Children International and KIT Royal Tropical Institute conducted research covering sexual violence in Borno State, Nigeria.
This first webinar from 26th April, 2022, unpacks the findings and recommendations of this study.
