Dear Friends and Colleagues, we are pleased to share with you a PDF version of our Resource Pack on Working with Men and Boys on Sexual and Gender Violence Issues. This is a compilation of some our resources on working with men and boys survivors of conflict related sexual violence since 2009 in Uganda. Each Resource Pack has 4 DVDs enclosed. The first DVD holds a collection of documents, reports and publications on Men and Boys survivors of sexual violence. The second DVD contains our major feature documentary titled “Gender Against Men.” The third DVD is a collection of our short films and the fourth DVD is a compilation of media coverage on our work on conflict related sexual violence against men and boys. Below is the outline
Briefing Notes and Special Reports
Aside from working papers and seminars the RLP produces a range of publications for multiple purposes. The research is targeted at a range of audiences (eg academia, government officials or the public) and aims to produce information quickly on time-sensitive issues. These result in special reports compiled either through individual consultancies or for external publications, including briefing notes that represent immediate but preliminary observations from the field, letters sent to the national newspapers or advocacy briefs that attempt to bring attention to specific thematic areas.
The report for the first South-South Institute that was held in Kampala-Uganda in 2013 and focused on the theme ‘Inclusive Responses to Sexual and Gender Based Violence’. This report should be read in conjunction with viewing a video made about the 1st Institute.
A report on RLP’s ongoing collaboration with the Uganda Police Force in training police officers on how best to respond to SGBV as it affects forced migrants.
Kampala, the capital of Uganda has been a habitat for refugees from the great lakes region for several decades. While all refugees suffer the effects of forced migration, female refugees continue to experience exceptional suffering.
In 2013, Refugee Law Project through the Mental Health and Psychosocial Wellbeing Program carried out a study on the psychosocial challenges faced by female refugees in Kampala among 153 women and girls.
Please find the links to both the detailed findings report and the video documentary accompanying this report:
Every year since 2009 Refugee Law Project (RLP) has organized an Annual Sexual and Gender Based Violence and Persecution Awareness Week. Coordinated by our own Gender and Sexuality Program. The week generates advocacy, dialogue and awareness on pertinent SGBVP and related gender and sexuality issues in forced migration and refugee situations.
