Shortly after his call for a global ceasefire, UN Secretary-General Ant贸nio Guterres called for measures to address a 鈥渉orrifying global surge in domestic violence鈥 directed towards women and girls, linked to lockdowns imposed by governments responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This seminar asks how and in what ways the global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) from the perspectives of policy making, advocacy and practice. This seminar also asks how the COVID-19 responses have impacted women, girls, and LGBTQ+ persons affected by conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).
