Research Query: Supporting GBV Survivors who are Pregnant due to Rape
08 Apr, 2021
This report first provides background information on what is known about the scope and impact of the problem in humanitarian emergencies, and then offers practical guidance to enable GBV practitioners to support survivors who are pregnant or have had children due to rape. While there is a growing body of evidence about the extent of sexual violence in conflict settings, there is little peer-reviewed research about pregnancies and childbirth as a result of rape, particularly in humanitarian emergencies or in relation to supporting survivors.

Additional resources for practitioners are provided at the end of the report.
