We guide those responsible for providing reparation
To support the implementation of international best practices, Global Survivors Fund (GSF) uses evidence-based tools such as model laws, guidance notes, and an online repository to promote and facilitate communities of practice.
In Ukraine, we are working with survivors and with the government to establish an urgent interim reparations programme for CRSV*. In April 2023 we hosted a week-long study visit for government ministries, civil society actors, and survivors in Geneva. Together we worked on a draft law to be tabled in Parliament.
*Measures provided by States to victims of violations to address the most urgent and immediate consequences of such violations, until such time as comprehensive reparations may be implemented.
In Colombia, we are working with survivors and the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) to ensure that the harm suffered by CRSV survivors is reflected, acknowledged, and results in adequate and effective reparation for survivors.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we have been providing advice to the government on the establishment of a National Reparation Fund for CRSV survivors and other crimes (FONAREV). At the same time, we are supporting and participating in a national Reparation Advocacy Alliance (APR) to ensure international best practice standards.
