Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area, we formed our network  to provide sensible solutions. Thanks to the helping hands of an amazing community of educators, activists and most importantly survivors of conflict related sexual violence (CRSV), listening to and learning from the lived experiences of those survivors  in Uganda, home to the largest group of refugees in the world, having fled from many conflicts and countries in the region, we formed together to establish links between our research teams and institutions. We have worked with the Regional Training Facility of the Great Lakes Region and a local illustrator to capture artistic representations of survivors voices.

We focus on making the maximum positive effort to the wellbeing of the survivors, to enrich Uganda and for the voices of survivors to inform and infuse international law and polices. We seek to bring positive solutions that make a long-lasting difference. Law and academic research can seem detached from everyday lives. We want to use creative research methods like pictorial depictions of stories to inform International Human Rights Law and law in general. This is unusual in legal research.
