Questionnaire: Global Action to End Sexual Violence in Conflict

The International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence is conducting this questionnaire at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict to gather information on what countries around the world are doing to stop sexual violence in conflict. The questionnaire is meant to be an engagement tool for campaigners and delegates with the hope that conversations on this issue continue well past the Global Summit. Delegates from all countries are encouraged to provide as much information as possible and highlight concrete policies or actions governments have taken to address some of the key aspects of ending sexual violence in conflict. While data collected with this questionnaire will not be publicized in a report, the campaign might use some of the information provided to highlight best practices, concrete commitments and achievements.
