Sexual violence is the most immediate and dangerous type of gender-based violence
occurring in acute emergencies. While women and girls are by far the most frequent
victims of sexual violence, emerging evidence shows that men and boys are also affected.
Sexual violence is a serious, life-threatening issue primarily affecting the most vulnerable
populations. It is a public health, social and cultural as well as a human rights problem.
Sexual violence requires specific humanitarian approaches based on an adequate, adapted
and comprehensive prevention and assistance response in order to save lives, alleviate
suffering and maximize protection. By essence the issue can only be addressed through a
multidisciplinary and systemic approach. Humanitarian staff is often confronted with
sexual violence at assistance and/or protection level. Some organizations have specific
projects on sexual violence, others favour an integrated approach. However, as
programmatic responses are relatively recent, there is a lack of trained and experienced
staff. To fill this gap, CERAH offers a one-week intensive course on Sexual Violence in
Conflict Settings and Emergencies. This course is developed jointly with ICRC, MSF,
Handicap International and UNHCR. Scholarships are available under certain criteria.
Course Objectives
The overall objective of the course is to provide mid-level or senior managers (heads of
mission, programme coordinators, protection advisers) the skills required to develop a
multidisciplinary approach to prevent and mitigate sexual violence adapted to specific
contexts and as an integral part of assistance programmes.
By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
