Amnesty International UK - Calls for the PSVI Conference November 2022

This briefing welcomes the 2022 PSVI conference but stresses that, despite progress since 2014, far more is needed to prevent conflict‑related sexual violence, protect survivors and deliver justice, setting out six priority actions for states.

Amnesty International welcomes the 2022 PSVI global conference to reinvigorate commitments for the prevention of conflict related sexual violence. Whilst there has been progress since the 2014 Global Summit, much more remains to be done to secure prevention, protection and justice for survivors. Amnesty International reiterates its 2014 recommendations to states. In addition, our research continues to demonstrate that more needs to be done to prevent sexual violence and protect the human rights of victims. Based on evidence from different countries Amnesty International recommends states take action in six areas, which are outlined in the document below.
