ABOUT
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in collaboration with UNIDIR, Insecurity Insight, and other partners, advances an initiative that improves how sensitive Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) information is collected, harmonized, and protected across 32 crisis-affected countries. By connecting fragmented sources with OHCHR human rights monitoring systems, the initiative generates structured, analysis-ready data that supports earlier risk identification and protection efforts.
OBJECTIVES
CRAF’d support enables OHCHR to expand and accelerate CRSV reporting by automating data pipelines, monitoring risk, and capturing forensic data. By strengthening real-time, granular data capacity across humanitarian, development, and peace actors and integrating outputs into OHCHR’s global human rights monitoring databases, the project equips partners to anticipate, prevent, and respond to conflict-related sexual violence.
Our project is bridging a critical data gap to help prevent conflict-related sexual violence, support survivors, and ensure greater respect for the human rights of women and girls, caught up in conflict.
