Background

The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was founded in 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad. GSF works to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence worldwide. Its approach combines interim reparative measures with advocacy and technical support to public institutions and civil society. Survivor participation guides this work, so that reparations reflect the harm experienced, survivors’ priorities and their understanding of recovery and justice.

GSF’s Syria programme combines work with national institutions, civil society partners and survivor groups across several locations. Activities include policy discussions and expert exchanges, support to Collective Recovery and Reparation Centres, partner programmes and health access initiatives. Reliable logistics and administration enable these activities to take place safely and efficiently. Operational arrangements must account for accessibility, participant privacy and the practical needs of survivors, while maintaining clear records and following GSF procedures.
