Conflict-related sexual violence

Definition

Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) includes acts of sexual violence linked to conflict, targeting women, men, girls, and boys to inflict trauma, disrupt communities, and perpetuate conflict. NATO is committed to implementing UN resolutions on sexual violence in conflict and developing guidelines to prevent and respond to CRSV. The Alliance's policy outlines efforts to address CRSV in operations and missions, with ongoing collaboration with international organisations and civil society to eliminate sexual violence in conflict.
