From past conflicts in Vietnam and Bosnia and Herzegovina to today’s conflicts in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia and Myanmar, state and nonstate actors have used sexual violence to intimidate and terrorize populations. What is missing from policy, research and practice to deter conflict-related sexual violence, mitigate ongoing harms, and heal from the intergenerational impacts? What are the implications for peace and global security when action falls short? These are among the questions at the forefront of the Missing Peace Initiative.
Join USIP, the Peace Research Institute Oslo, Washington University in St. Louis, and Women in International Security via livestream for the plenary sessions of the 10th anniversary Missing Peace Global Symposium. This symposium will bring together leading researchers from diverse disciplines, survivors of different conflicts, practitioners, and policymakers to advance a multi-pronged approach to ending the atrocity of conflict-related sexual violence.
Panelists reflect on the past decade of global efforts to address conflict-related sexual violence and the key messages from two days of discussion among global experts at this symposium.
