Investigation of Conflict-Related Sexual And Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) Course

The course provides specialist skills required for the documentation of SGBV crimes and violations.

It addresses topics such as:

  • SGBV under international law, including individual criminal liability for selected sexual violence crimes such as rape, sexual slavery
  • A gender analysis of the legal elements of sexual violence crimes
  • Analysis of recent jurisprudence
  • Planning SGBV investigations, and the importance of SGBV in broader investigations
  • Red flags signifying the potential existence of SGBV crimes
  • Working with interpreters
  • Working with intermediaries
  • Interviewing skills, including the PEACE model for interviews
  • Interview documentation
  • Witness management, safety and protection
  • Victim and witness support measures
  • Psychosocial support for investigators

The best thing being by far the team building experience: work with people I had never seen before and that came from different background, put together our expertise and experiences in a constructive way. Each of us brought something to our team and I believe we all learn about the importance of listening to one another and question our ideas. It was like building a picture to which each one of us contributed with an essential detail.

Student of the Analysis skills Course

The past two weeks have been such a wonderful experience. So I am writing to say that it was the most interesting, fruitful and pleasant training I have ever been to. Your management of the challenges of our training and your skills in engaging the participants was outstanding. What really amazed me was, how aware you were of everything that was occurring in the classroom, and how you managed to help each attendee personally and to initiate discussions of the topics everyone was thinking and wondering about
