Since the war in Sudan broke out in 2023, +740,000 people have sought refuge in Chad. Many arrive carrying the trauma of CRSV. In the east, Adré and Aboutengué refugee camps are where stories begin to surface, where women rebuild in the aftermath of violence, and where a rapid response is needed.
As we mark the ID for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, it is an urgent reminder that an estimated 840 million women and girls globally have suffered intimate partner violence or sexual violence.
And yet, some stories barely surface. The impact on lives and communities is devastating.
The Neem Foundation and the Global Survivors Fund have issued a statement on the recent kidnappings of schoolchildren in northern Nigeria. These attacks demand urgent attention and stronger protection for students and teachers.

At the Global Survivors Fund, we believe true repair begins with survivors.
Co-creation means every project starts with one question: “What does repair mean to survivors?”
While the answers might vary - from compensation to livelihood support or education – the result is always transformative.
Join us in NYC on Oct 30, 2–3:30 p.m., at the German Mission to the UN, to discover more.
Organized with UN Women, the Permanent Missions of Germany and Ukraine to the UN, and Numo Sisters.

Together with our partners in Bangladesh, we are exploring how best to support survivors in their quest for reparation, while keeping them at the centre of this process.
Rohingya survivors are entitled to justice and reparations. Humanitarian assistance, while essential, is not a substitute for these rights.
These crimes were not accidents of war, but deliberate strategies used to destroy lives and communities. Many survivors remain silent, fearing stigma and rejection, and live in refugee camps with little to no protection or support.
Later recognised by the UN as genocide and crimes against humanity, over 700,000 people fled to Bangladesh - with more than a million now living in Cox’s Bazar.
Among the many atrocities, survivors of conflict-related sexual violence carry particular and enduring scars.
Today marks eight years since Myanmar’s military launched a campaign of mass violence against the Rohingya population in Rakhine State. On 25 August 2017, entire villages were razed, families were torn apart, and civilians raped, killed or subjected to other atrocities.
For many Yazidi survivors, education is filled with barriers - overcrowded schools, lost papers, stigma, trauma, and no clear path forward. Our new report calls for survivors-led, tailored solutions.
Education can be real reparation.

Education is key. But 10 years on, barriers remain for Yazidi survivors of ISIS captivity. At GSF, with Yazda & Farida Global, we say: access isn’t enough. Reparation means real, trauma-informed, survivor-centred solutions.
