This webinar features the launch of our new, ground-breaking research, “From Survivor-Centred to Survivor-Led: Lessons from Survivor-Led Gender-Based Violence Accountability Initiatives”.
During the webinar, researcher Brenda K. Kombo JD, PhD, presents the research findings, showcasing evidence of established and emerging good practice to inspire a shift within policy and practice from survivor-centred to survivor-led approaches. With a global focus across humanitarian, development, and peace support contexts, the initiatives seek to prevent, mitigate and respond to GBV. Recommendations to states, policy makers, practitioners, donors and researchers are made, in order to promote survivor-leadership.
The webinar also features:
