UN Action Prevention Framework Summary – translated to Ukrainian
The UN Action Prevention Workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine, held on Tuesday, 23rd July 2024, focused on strengthening national and community-based CRSV prevention and response mechanisms in Ukraine through a survivor-centered multi-sectoral approach. Over the past decade, there has been increasing evidence of when, how, and why sexual violence occurs during certain armed conflicts, indicating significant variability. Not all parties to armed conflict engage in sexual violence to the same extent or in the same manner, and some do not engage in it at all. Moreover, even within a single armed conflict, the level of sexual violence can vary depending on geographical location and time. Such variability suggests that sexual violence is not inevitable during armed conflict. Furthermore, with appropriate measures and deterrent factors, sexual violence in conflict settings can be prevented.
