For victims of conflict-related sexual violence, journeys to justice are too often long, painful and unfruitful.   

But creativity in policymaking has the power to transform access to justice and strengthen accountability for perpetrators.

Thomas Kwoyelo, Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army's ex-commander, was recently sentenced to a 40-year jail term for having committed international crimes, incl. war crimes and crimes against humanity, during the Lord’s Resistance Army insurgency against the Government of #Uganda.

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women across the globe, particularly in pioneering advancements within frontier technologies. This year's theme, ‘Investing in Women’, resonates deeply as we acknowledge the transformative impact of female-led initiatives.

In July 2022, FCDO advisor @JayeHo22 was selected by the Frontier Tech Hub to explore the role of AR&VR in international courts.

We hope this week at the @IntlCrimCourt was just the beginning of the conversation 🚀

Delighted to join @karimkhanqc virtually to launch a creative VR app that lets conflict related sexual violence survivors see how the @IntlCrimCourt can protect their identity if they testify.

We’re proud that 11 years since the launch of PSVI the 🇬🇧 continues to play a leading role in driving global action to preventing conflict related sexual violence.

We remain committed to #unitetoendCRSV

[#RightsFreedomPotential @FCDOGender]

It is vital that States take responsibility to end conflict related sexual violence. 

This is why 🇬🇧 funding supports @MukwegeFound to improve States’ understanding of their obligations to survivors and to hold perpetrators to account.

[#RightsFreedomPotential @FCDOGender]

1 year since the 2022 PSVI Conference, ending conflicting related sexual violence remains a top priority.

Survivors’ needs must be at the heart of our work on preventing sexual violence in conflict.

I was in New York for a meeting of the PSVI International Alliance.

👇🏽 Here’s why it’s vital. 👇🏽

[The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG @tariqahmadbt]

Today I am chairing the #UNSC meeting on conflict-related sexual violence.
I’m grateful to the brave briefers who are speaking of their experiences in Myanmar & DRC.
We must listen to survivors if we are to eliminate conflict-related sexual violence. We owe it to them to do more.

[The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG @tariqahmadbt]

The UK 🇬🇧 is taking bold steps to consign sexual violence in conflict to the history books.

On this International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, I’ve announced sanctions to hold perpetrators accountable.

[Karim A. A. Khan KC @KarimKhanQC]

Accountability and justice dispensed by independent judges in fair evidence based trials is an essential right. So many, in all parts of our world, look for it, pray for it and are waiting. We simply must do better together to make it felt. We must not become anaesthetised to suffering, pain and the yearning for a better, less brutal tomorrow. Thank you @NadiaMuradBasee for your stamina, unbelievable courage and determined leadership. With heartfelt condolences. @nadiainitiative @AbidShamdeen. May the souls of all your departed loved ones be at peace.

Day 2 @WiltonPark, discussing a new convention on crimes against humanity, and how to strengthen accountability for, and prevention of, sexual and gender-based crimes. So inspired by the amazing minds gathered for this conversation. #PSVI @FCDOGovUK

[Shannon Raj Singh @ShannonRSingh]

Wonderful to be @WiltonPark with such a thoughtful group of survivors, advocates, & ICL experts to discuss the Crimes Against Humanity Convention & how it can be a more effective tool for survivors of sexual & gender-based violence. Thank you to @FCDOGovUK for convening us. #PSVI

The 🇬🇧 is contributing £430,000 to the important work of the @IntlCrimCourt's @TFV_FPV for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in the CAR & Uganda.

[The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG @tariqahmadbt]

To mark #InternationalWomensDay I am reflecting on the important conversations I have had at #CSW67.

It has been inspiring to meet so many individuals from around the world who are passionately committed to defending, championing and progressing the rights of all women & girls.
