Putting Survivors at the Center Data Findings from Phase 1

This multi-country study identifies the primary barriers preventing survivors in conflict-affected regions from accessing gender-based violence (GBV) services. While NGOs remain the most trusted formal providers, social stigma and a lack of awareness often force survivors to rely on informal support or remain in danger. The findings emphasize the need for survivor-centered legal reforms and the creation of safe spaces that empower community-level advocates.
