Facebook-event

We are pleased to invite you to the official launch of our handbooks: «Sexual violence against Children in war, conflict, humanitarian crisis and low resource communities» and «Sexual violence against boys and men in War, conflict and migration».

After several years of working with the manual on sexual violence against women in war and conflict situations, we at MHHRI are proud to introduce these two new manuals. These manuals represent an important tool for helpers and caregivers working with children, boys, and men who have survived sexual abuse in war, conflict, humanitarian crises, and contexts with limited resources.

Our aim with the manuals is to provide practical guidance for helpers on how best to support and help boys, men, and children who have experienced sexual violence in various challenging situations. The manuals deal with different aspects of these topics, how traumatic events affect the mental health of those exposed, as well as practical approaches and tools that can be used to meet their psychological needs.

Our new manuals are available in multiple languages, including English, Nepali, Ukrainian, and Spanish. We are continuously working on translating them into more languages in order to be able to reach even more helpers in more countries.

ATTENTION: The event is free, to attend you must have an entry ticket, as soon as possible we will post the link so you can get a ticket.
