Скачать или смотреть Perspectives in Conflict-Related Sexual Violence. From Vulnerability to Action

In this lecture, Anna Talamoni (International Division / Health and Gender Advisor & Trainer, Argentine Joint Peacekeeping Training Center) introduces social vulnerability in humanitarian response and conflict settings, with a specific focus on gender perspectives and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).

The session clarifies key concepts and practical implications for planning and field work, including:

What social vulnerability means in conflict, disaster, and humanitarian contexts

The difference between vulnerability and resilience

A working definition of CRSV (including patterns such as rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, and other forms of sexual violence affecting women, men, girls, and boys)

Where CRSV often occurs (e.g., attacks on communities, displacement contexts, routine daily activities such as collecting water/firewood, house searches, kidnappings)

Related cross-cutting frameworks: Protection of Civilians (PoC), Women, Peace & Security (WPS), and Child Protection

Why CRSV is recognized as a serious violation of international law, and in some contexts may constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture, or acts linked to genocide

What practitioners can do: situational awareness, early warning, training, monitoring/reporting, coordination with local organizations, and proactive engagement

Key message: prevention and response require deliberate planning, coordination, and action—grounded in protection principles and context-specific analysis.
