Co-creating reparations and other forms of redress with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
At the Global Survivors Fund, we believe true repair begins with survivors.
Co-creation means every project starts with one question: “What does repair mean to survivors?”
While the answers might vary - from compensation to livelihood support or education – the result is always transformative.
