Amnesty International Recommendations for the PSVI Conference

The government defines itself as a global leader on action to tackle Conflict-Related Sexual Violence, recognizing that is ‘has shattered lives and scarred communities around the world’ and is prohibited under international law. Next week’s global PSVI conference is hosted to galvanise global action on the issue and support survivors. However, the government takes a different approach when it comes to women asylum seekers and survivors in Northern Ireland by criminalising women seeking safety and legislating for impunity for rape in Northern Ireland.
