Sexual violence is a risk that all refugees face—women, girls, men, boys, and people with diverse gender identities like transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex individuals. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that perpetrators target women and girls, but also men and boys, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTQI). The Women’s Refugee Commission’s (WRC) sexual violence project undertook research in three diverse refugee settings to document the scope of the issue, find out what practices are in place, and document key actions for services providers.
