On May the 6th the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict will be launched with a week of action. The campaign is the result of a coalition initiative with organizations and individuals coming together to amplify the voices of survivors and stop rape. This is the first ever global collaboration between Nobel Peace Laureates, international advocacy organizations, and groups working at the regional and community levels in conflict.
The Campaign will demand urgent and bold political leadership to prevent rape in conflict, to protect civilians and rape survivors, and call for justice for all—including effective prosecution of those responsible. These three pillars of the Campaign—prevention, protection, prosecution—signal a comprehensive effort to stop rape in conflict.
The campaign will initially focus on four countries—Burma, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Kenya. Theses countries represent places where immediate and coordinated action is needed. Within these four countries the coalition believe that united efforts can make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time.
