What Works to prevent Conflict Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) Policy Brief

Evidence from research and practice show that conflictrelated sexual violence is not an inevitable consequence of conflict and can be prevented. This brief aims to help policymakers understand ‘what works’. It is based on a high-level synthesis of existing evidence and practice on conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and wider violence against women and girls (VAWG) in conflictaffected settings, complemented by consultations with humanitarian stakeholders and survivors’ groups and networks. A longer accompanying report provides further details on entry points for effective action.
