FMR 27 explores the challenges and opportunities for
combating sexual violence in conflict, post-conflict and development
recovery contexts. Produced in partnership with the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), it builds on momentum
generated by the June 2006 International
Symposium on Sexual Violence in Conflict and Beyond jointly convened
by UNFPA, the European Commission and the Government of Belgium.
Practice-oriented submissions from 40 specialists from a wide range of
humanitarian agencies highlight key issues and challenges, best
practices, innovative programmes and recommendations.

We are grateful for
funding support from UNFPA, the European Commission, Belgian Development
Cooperation, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, the Austrian
Development Agency, Concern Worldwide, Oxfam Novib, the International
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the World Food
Programme. Thanks to their generosity we are able to significantly
increase our usual print runs in order to contribute towards improving
international understanding of the nature of sexual and gender-based
violence (SGBV) and how to combat it. This issue will be subsequently
published in French, Arabic and
Spanish.
