 I'm Paul Kirby, Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London. I study efforts to prevent sexual violence in conflict and my research has highlighted the damaging effects of a fixation on international criminal justice, the stereotyping of survivors and the failure to implement existing promises. My recommendations to policymakers are first to engage as closely as possible with subject and area experts, especially civil society and survivor networks. Second, to ensure policy coherence and a holistic response to all forms of sexual and gender-based violence. And third, to think critically about who is presumed to be a victim, including on the basis of refugee status, gender, military affiliation or political views.
