We are pleased to invite you to a workshop on the topic “Combating Conflict-Related Sexual Violence – Comparative Insights on International and National Capacities” taking place on 12-13 May 2023. The workshop is organised by Ajla Škrbić (Freie Universität Berlin) with the support of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

The two-day workshop is aimed at bringing together scholars and practitioners working on conflict-related sexual violence from different disciplinary perspectives, especially with a focus on gender.
