Background

The Global Survivors Fund (“GSF”) was launched in October 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize laureates 2018. Its mission is to enhance access to reparation for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence around the globe, thus responding to a gap long identified by survivors. GSF acts to provide interim reparative measures in situations where states or other parties are unable or unwilling to meet their responsibilities. GSF advocates for duty bearers as well as the international community to develop reparation programmes. It also guides states and civil society by providing expertise and technical support for designing reparation programmes. GSF’s unique co-creation model and survivor- centric approach are the cornerstone of its work.

The Project

GSF and the Dr Denis Mukwege Foundation have signed a Framework Agreement with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine and Apparatus the Government Commissioner for Gender Equality Policy to enhance access to reparations for victims of conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine through holistic care and access to urgent interim reparation.

As an organisation dedicated to advancing the realisation of the right to reparation in a survivor-centred manner and through a co-creation approach, GSF is committed to enhance access to reparation for victims of conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine and, to this aim, will work with survivors and the Ukrainian government on the design and implementation of an urgent interim reparation programme.
