Reparations Praxis Hub

The Global Survivors Fund is implementing a Reparations Praxis Hub. This is a repository of lessons learned from the implementation of reparations for survivors of conflict related sexual violence and for other victims of massive violations of human rights or international humanitarian law. The aim is to systematise lessons that derive from practical experiences. Those lessons will be used as guidance for defining reparation policies and mechanisms in the future. In this project, the team will examine, among others, how reparations measures implemented by different programmes were defined, the types of measures and modalities of implementation, the inclusion of a gender perspective in the reparations, specific forms of reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, conditions required for the implementation of reparations, and the effectiveness of those measures to respond to identified harms.

The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was launched in October 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize laureates 2018. The GSF’s mission is to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence around the globe, thus responding to a gap long identified by survivors.
