Latin America Dialogue on the Murad Code
11 December 2024
Systematic and conflict-related sexual violence has been identified as a key push factor for people migrating through Latin America. In addition, those who leave their home countries are at heightened risk of experiencing systematic sexual violence throughout the entire migratory process. Through a roundtable discussion with experts from countries of origin, transit, destination and return, this dialogue examined how key actors involved in addressing mixed migration have approached the documentation, investigation, truth-telling and prosecution of such sexual violence, with the aim of advancing understanding of the general principles that all actors – whether working towards humanitarian, justice or other accountability aims within the region – should adhere to.
West Africa Dialogue on the Murad Code
27 June 2024
The West Africa Dialogue on the Murad Code identified and discussed drivers of harmful and survivor-centred practices related to documenting and investigating SCRSV in the region, focusing on lack of gender sensitivity as a key driver of bad practice. It also discussed how lack of awareness of standards, lack of understanding of how to add value through documentation, and repeated interviewing can lead to practices that further harm victims and survivors.
