"My Path from Victim to Advocate - Championing a Survivor-Centered Approach to Conflict-Related Sexual Violence," by Jean-Jacques Lende, Team Leader, Men of Hope USA. menofhopeusa.org/voices-of-hope Male survivors of conflict-related sexual violence #CRSV #PSVI

In 2024, the numbers of male and female survivors are still very large.

Very thought provoking article by Jean-Jacques Lende. Male survivors of conflict-related sexual violence sharing their stories and knowledge.

Male survivor of conflict-related sexual violence reflects on his experiences of support provided for male survivors in DRC, Uganda and USA. #CRSV #PSVI

90 per cent of men in conflict-affected countries are in situations where the law provides no protection for them if they become victims of sexual violence. This needs to urgently change so male victims and their families can access medical support.
