Speech delivered by David Onen (Programme Manager - Gender & Sexuality) at the training of religious leaders on International Protocol on the Documentation and Investigation of Sexual Violence in Conflict
Powerpoint presentation delivered by Onen David (Programme Manager - Gender & Sexuality) at the training of Religious Leaders on International Protocol on the Documentation and Investigation of Sexual Violence in Conflict.
This report on Men of Hope’s ground-breaking activities emerges from our ongoing DFID-funded collaborative study with the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Sussex, and was written by Jerker Edström, Chris Dolan and Thea Shahrokh, with Onen David. It explores one central question, namely: ‘What makes it possible for male survivors of conflict-related sexual violence to organise and become activists, challenging discriminatory social and gender norms?’
The study finds that, despite pervasive discrimination, this group of male survivors has been able to develop resilience and mutual support through collective action. Further, the study finds that third-party service providers and non-governmental organisations can play an important support role in reinforcing the resilience and capacity of male survivors to organise collectively.
This report is an output of a successful research collaboration done in August 2015 between Refugee Law Project (RLP) and Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC). It synthesizes learning from four urban settings around the globe: Kampala (Uganda), Quito (Ecuador), Beirut (Lebanon) and Delhi (India). It contains recommendations on how humanitarian actors, including policymakers, donors and practitioners, can mitigate the GBV risks faced by urban refugees.
This report is a summary of a full report authored by Refugee Law Project (RLP) and Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC), "Mean Streets: Identifying and Responding to Urban Refugees' Risks of GBV", and contains findings specific to Kampala.
This paper was written in collaboration with our partners from Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Centre for Health and Social Justice (CHSJ), Men for Gender Equality Now (MEGEN). It discusses the process and progress of the men and masculinities stream of work at IDS, supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
