• 2019: Consultations for the ‘Call it what it is campaign’. A partnership between RLP and Women’s Initiative for Gender Justice (WIGJ) as part of developing a Civil Society Declaration on SV which presents a broad view on how to interpret the concept of SV, based primarily on consultations with self-identified survivors. It blends a multitude of experience to provide guidance on what may constitute an ‘act of sexual nature’ and to indicate when an ‘act of sexual nature’ may become an ‘act of sexual violence’, and a critical reference point on SV in a way that is survivor-centric, forward-looking, and contextually relevant.
