Thank you so much to @Athena_Stavrou from me and @ThisIsSurvivors for writing a really respectful, compassionate and genuinely interested interview in the @Independent. The article is brilliant https://t.co/9QbW99pJBi - it's journalists like you that are part of the solution!
@MrMadrigalOBE @ProfDavidGadd @Belvederebrooks@AllyFogg@MandemMeetup @MBCoalition Need to ensure laws will protect male victims and survivors of #CRSV when they disclose/report or advocate and provide critical support for their peers.

@RobLownie@andrewlownie Powerful image. Reminiscent of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Also, spotlights the crime through conveying the revulsion experienced by young sex trafficked victims forced to encounter naked bodies of privileged old men
#CRSV against men and boys has a long history and a high number of incidents, yet recognition of this phenomenon is fairly recent.
It was in 2013 that for the first time, UNSCR 2106 explicitly mentioned men and boys as victims of sexual violence in conflict.
@KerryKennedyRFK The consequences are also far reaching for the hundreds of male survivors of conflict-related sexual violence seeking refuge in Uganda, who now fear reporting or accessing medical services, and support groups are being harassed (see @MenofHopeUSA) #CRSV
