Sexual violence in conflict

• From: Ministry of Defence, Department for International Development, and Foreign & Commonwealth Office

The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) aims to address the culture of impunity, ensure more perpetrators are brought to justice and ensure better support for survivors. We’re campaigning to raise awareness, rally global action, promote international coherence and increase the political will and capacity of states to do more.
