Policy
Our work on policy helps create a better understanding of the harm of sexual violence which in turn feeds into prevention strategies. In this work, we seek to:
- ensure that the rights and dignity of survivors/victims are respected at all times,
- promote accuracy and sensitivity in how sexual violence is reported,
- inform policymaking at a national level, and
- strengthen support services.
