The Global Fund for Survivors

Published purpose

This project aims to improve the lives of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) through the Global Fund for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (GSF). It seeks to work with survivors of CRSV globally to enhance and ensure their access to reparations and comprehensive reparative measures addressing their urgent needs. Project activities include: (1) providing grants for civil society organizations to ensure survivors receive interim reparative measures; (2) advocating at the international and national levels for policy, programmatic and legislative development to improve access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence; and (3) providing technical assistance to States and other stakeholders to develop their national reparations programmes. The project aims to benefit and encourage the participation of women and girls, as they are more likely to experience conflict-related sexual violence. It also seeks participation from men and boys, depending on the context.
