Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Strategy

This resource is the UK Government’s strategy on preventing sexual violence in conflict (PSVI). It has 4 objectives:  

  • strengthening the global response to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV)
  • preventing sexual violence in conflict
  • helping survivors to access justice and hold perpetrators accountable
  • improving support available to survivors and children born of sexual violence in crises 

The PSVI strategy provides detailed information on how each objective will be met through UK policy, programming, and funding commitments. It includes case studies and explains the role the UK intends to play in global efforts to prevent and respond to sexual violence in conflict. The strategy supports delivery of other important areas of UK foreign and development policy, including the UK’s Women, Peace and Security (WPS) National Action Plan. 

This resource was published under the 2022 to 2024 Sunak Conservative government.
