The 2023 Samuel Dash Conference on Human Rights will focus on the theme of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and will feature 2018 Nobel Peace Laureate Nadia Murad as the keynote speaker. Presenting advocates and survivor champions from around the world, the day's panels will highlight the work of lawyers and experts who are working to put survivors' needs, wishes, and human rights front and center. The conference will also shed light on the unique experiences of male and LGBTQ+ survivors of CRSV, as well as the structural cracks that leave these groups vulnerable. Finally, the conference will explore the "deep-rooted political, socioeconomic, cultural, environmental, and institutional drivers of conflict" as identified by the UN Framework for the Prevention of CRSV, and examine how to scale evidence-based approaches to reduce the risk of CRSV.
