Background
The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was founded in 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad. GSF works to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence worldwide. Its approach combines interim reparative measures with advocacy and technical support to public institutions and civil society. Survivor participation guides this work, so that reparations reflect the harm experienced, survivors’ priorities and their understanding of recovery and justice.
In Syria, GSF works with the National Commission for Transitional Justice, survivor groups and civil society to support reparations policies and programmes. This includes survivor co-creation, technical exchanges and support to Collective Recovery and Reparation Centres. In Homs, the Area Coordinator connects this work with local priorities and supports the programming of the centre in Homs. The role helps ensure that survivors’ experiences and lessons from local activities inform cooperation with the Commission and wider programme development.
