The Refugee Law Project is the world's sole organization that has placed a primary emphasis on developing programs for male survivors and their families. Their comprehensive efforts encompass direct engagement with survivors and their families in the field, training programs for institutions and first responders, pivotal policy reforms, establishing global partnerships, and maintaining a resilient and sustainable organization that has navigated challenges on the ground. Through these initiatives, the Refugee Law Project has significantly influenced the global conversation on sexual violence, promoting more inclusive approaches and heightened awareness, particularly in humanitarian and transitional justice contexts, with the potential to benefit countless survivors.

Refugee Law Project is a community outreach project of the School of Law, Makerere University. Established in 1999, initially with a narrow focus on legal aid for refugees, it has since expanded to become the leading centre for justice and forced migrations in the east African region. With Headquarters in Kampala, it has since 2010 built a strong presence in the (Lord’s Resistance Army) LRA-affected areas of northern Uganda (Kitgum and Gulu), as well as refugee hosting areas in southern and central Uganda (Isingiro and Hoima districts). Following a ground-breaking screening project for experiences of violence that was supported by the Global Disaster Preparedness Centre (GDPC), and with substantial financial support from the Dutch government, Refugee Law Project is currently expanding its presence in three key areas hosting the influx of South Sudanese refugees; Lamwo, Adjumani and Kiryandongo.

One outstanding aspect of the Refugee Law Project is their work with survivors of sexual violence, in particular the way RLP has been able to access male survivors and integrate them alongside their existing work with women survivors. We believe that, since making men an explicit focus of their Gender-Based Violence (GBV) programming in 2009, RLP has done more than any other organization internationally to provide direct assistance to male survivors and their families, as well as to advocate for a change in global perspectives and practices in this regard. The practical impact is visible from individual victims who have recovered full physical, social, sexual and economic functioning. It is also clear when families escape the dysfunction caused by men being unable to disclose their victimization. In many instances both partners in refugee couples have been victims, and Refugee Law Project has been able to mediate disclosure between husbands and wives, leading to joint treatment and far greater prospects of full recovery. This compares with the majority of services that target only women survivors.

The suffering of survivors is not purely physical, it also contains a large measure of psychological and social suffering, largely provoked by widespread stigmatization and marginalization of victims & survivors. Refugee Law Project has skillfully targeted a range of common vulnerabilities within refugee populations (People Living with HIV, Parents bringing up Children Born of Rape, People Living with Disabilities, Sexual and Gender Minorities, Survivors of Torture, and Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence), catalyzed a range of related refugee support groups, and worked with these groups to confront their shared stigmatization head on. For example, in the case of Men of Hope Refugee Association (MOHRAU) in Uganda, the world’s first ever group of male refugee survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (established in 2011), group members have worked hand-in-hand with RLP staff to provide awareness-raising workshops on the issue for diverse stakeholders ranging from Local Council officials in refugee hosting areas, through Uganda Police Force trainings, and up to training for members of the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF). This shift from victims who are dependent on outside assistance, to activists able to make their needs heard at the highest levels (e.g. Wilton Park, U.K., December 2016), is dramatic, empowering, and fundamentally good for the recovery of mental health.

Refugee Law Project has probably done more than any other single organization to raise awareness of male victims of conflict-related sexual violence through the use of national and international media. This began in 2011 with a ground-breaking and award-winning article The Rape of Men: the darkest secret of war in the UK Guardian, followed by in depth media coverage of RLP’s work by the BBC World Service (2012) and BBC Africa (2017), The Times (2014), Reuters (2014), Al Jazeera (2015), Devex (2017) and Television Interviews and Newspaper articles across continents: Finland (2016), The Netherlands (2013), Colombia (2014), Cambodia (2015).

Refugee Law Project staff have also worked tirelessly to ensure that the issue of conflict- related sexual violence against men is integrated into a wide range of training activities, particularly of humanitarian, human rights and criminal justice actors. In 2012, RLP wrote the UNHCR’s first guidance note on working with male survivors. In 2014, they collaborated with the International Institute for Criminal Investigations (IICI) in the conceptualisation of and scene-setting input into Expert workshop on the development of IICI Guidelines for the Investigation of Crimes of Sexual Violence against Men and Boys (19- 20 June 2014) a document that informed the development of the 2nd edition of the International Protocol on Documentation and Investigation of Sexual Violence in Conflict, a review process that RLP was again involved in closely. In 2015, RLP developed the first ever training on the issue for UNHCR staff in the Middle East and North Africa. RLP has provided input into trainings for Justice Rapid Response (JRR) on how best to investigate sexual violence for purposes of criminal prosecution and war crimes. From 2014 onwards, RLP has also collaborated with CERAH (University of Geneva) to incorporate these topics into their trainings for humanitarian workers. RLP has provided key instructional materials to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for its in-house training of staff in eastern DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). Our video “Gender Against Men” (2009) is used by the European Union in its training of refugee workers.

As well as ensuring that trainings become more inclusive and comprehensive, RLP has also worked in key policy areas to promote the mainstreaming and thus the long-term sustainable impact of inclusive understandings of gender and gender based violence. These range from incorporating such understandings of gender into the National Police Training Curriculum in Uganda (2014), to influencing the revision of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Guidelines (2015) which form the basis for much training of humanitarian workers. In June 2013, Refugee Law Project was centrally involved in the first workshop of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC) on sexual violence against men. In 2016, RLP’s Director, Dr. Chris Dolan, and the leader of Men of Hope Refugee Association in Uganda, Mr. Aimé Moninga, were involved in a Wilton Park conference at which the Prevention of Sexual Violence Initiative’s Guidelines on stigma were drawn up.

RLP’s work has at times been controversial. In 2014, the Government of Uganda suspended the organization for ten months, in part because they saw their work with male survivors as a way of promoting homosexuality. This in itself helped to highlight one of the central issues affecting male survivors, namely the error of automatically conflating their experiences with homosexuality. RLP was the only organization in the 2014 Global Summit on Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict to present multiple sessions addressing different dimensions of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Against Men (CRSVAM). RLP’s Director has also generated an international debate, through the International Review of the Red Cross (IRRC), about the tensions between GBV programming that prioritizes women and girls, and that which takes an inclusive approach that both addresses the needs of women, men, girls and boys, and sees the interconnections between those needs. Against this backdrop, invitations to RLP’s director to address the Bled Strategic Forum (2015), British House of Lords (2015), NATO Headquarters Brussels (2016), ICRC Geneva Humanitarian Forum (2017), The United Nation’s 10th Anniversary of the Office on Sexual Violence in Conflict (2019), on the topic of sexual violence against men, represent important recognition of the issue at the highest levels.

These achievements have been enabled by Refugee Law Project’s strategic partnerships; these have included with Johns Hopkins School of Public Health with whom RLP developed a screening tool for the earlier identification of male survivors of sexual violence in humanitarian settings (2012). RLP partnered with Institute of Development Studies (University of Sussex, UK) with whom RLP and Men of Hope were able to both study the importance of creating spaces for men to do their own Therapeutic Activism, Journeys to Activism (survivor video testimonies), with a major example being the film Men Can Be Raped Too, a docu-drama developed, acted and filmed by Men of Hope members with technical support from RLP’s video unit (2015). RLP has also partnered with the International Human Rights Law Clinic of the University of California Berkeley to write a working paper on the domestic and international legal frameworks that impact on male survivors. This also fed into the 1st South-South Institute (SSI) on Sexual Violence Against Men and Boys, an RLP initiative in collaboration with Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse Trust – New Zealand, and First-Step Cambodia. The first Institute was held in Kampala in 2013, the 2nd in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2015, the 3rd in New Zealand in 2017, the 4th and 5th in Kampala, Uganda in 2019 and 2023.  Since 2015 Refugee Law Project has also been a partner in the Conjugal Slavery in War consortium led by York University, Canada, and in May 2017 hosted a Summer Institute on Men’s and Women’s Relations in Coercive Settings.

A very important contribution of RLP is the unique and inspirational model it provides for other non-profit and humanitarian initiatives. They have created an environment in which survivors disclose their experiences, creating the possibility of systematic responses to their needs and even systemic changes. By linking their direct service provision to research and advocacy activities, RLP has also managed to leverage a global change in thinking about the parameters of one of the scourges of our time, conflict-related sexual violence. Key elements in the RLP model that can be replicated by other organisations include the systematic inclusion of refugees on staff (approximately 25%) and in staff recruitment processes, strong anti-discrimination policies that are embedded into staff contracts, creating strong working relationships with key governmental duty bearers such as police, army and prisons, documenting hands-on experience and feeding this documentation into research and advocacy activities, only pursuing funding opportunities that further the organisation’s core vision and mission.

The RLP model has also been achieved on limited resources, in a funding climate where virtually no Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) donors ask for work with male survivors in their calls for proposals (it should be noted that during the period when the US Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) called for proposals that did include calls for work with men and boys, RLP received substantial funding from PRM for three project cycles in a row).

The Refugee Law Project could not have achieved the success it has without a strong organizational capacity. This capacity is evident in a number of indicators. Its reputation for financial integrity was recognised by its appointment as lead organization of a tri-partite consortium, as well as grants from international partners. Other indicators include strong staff retention, as well as high levels of success by staff seeking fully sponsored further studies. In the last five years, an average of 3 staff per year have been on fully-funded scholarships abroad, primarily for Masters level studies. The Refugee Law Project has also become the starting point for international M.A. and PhD students undertaking research and fieldwork on conflict-related sexual violence against men and their families.

Based on the Refugee Law Project’s direct impact with communities, their focus on trainings and policy-changes, their focus on sustainability and scalability, their focus on engaging well-respected academic and media coverage to increase understanding and shift stigma, and their unique contribution and leadership in this challenging field, we strongly urge everyone to support the work of Refugee Law Project.

In April 2923, Dr. Ojara De-Saxone Pius was appointed as the new Director of the Refugee Law Project (RLP). Dr. Ojara replaces Dr. Chris Dolan who moved to the UK to become a Professor in Global Sustainable Development in the School for Cross-faculty Studies at the University of Warwick.

Le Refugee Law Project est la seule organisation au monde qui a mis l'accent sur le développement de programmes destinés aux hommes survivants et à leurs familles. Leurs efforts globaux englobent un engagement direct avec les survivants et leurs familles sur le terrain, des programmes de formation pour les institutions et les premiers intervenants, des réformes politiques cruciales, l'établissement de partenariats mondiaux et le maintien d'une organisation résiliente et durable qui a surmonté les défis sur le terrain. Grâce à ces initiatives, le Refugee Law Project a influencé de manière significative le débat mondial sur la violence sexuelle, en promouvant des approches plus inclusives et une sensibilisation accrue, en particulier dans les contextes humanitaires et de justice transitionnelle, avec le potentiel de bénéficier à d'innombrables survivants.

Refugee Law Project est un projet de sensibilisation communautaire de la Faculté de droit de l’Université Makerere. Créé en 1999, initialement axé sur l'aide juridique aux réfugiés, il s'est depuis développé pour devenir le principal centre de justice et de migrations forcées dans la région de l'Afrique de l'Est. Basée à Kampala, elle a depuis 2010 établi une forte présence dans les zones touchées par la LRA (Armée de Résistance du Seigneur) du nord de l'Ouganda (Kitgum et Gulu), ainsi que dans les zones d'accueil de réfugiés du sud et du centre de l'Ouganda (districts d'Isingiro et Hoima). . Suite à un projet de dépistage novateur des expériences de violence soutenu par le Centre mondial de préparation aux catastrophes (GDPC) et avec un soutien financier substantiel du gouvernement néerlandais, le Refugee Law Project étend actuellement sa présence dans trois zones clés accueillant l'afflux de Réfugiés sud-soudanais ; Lamwo, Adjumani et Kiryandongo.

Un aspect remarquable du Refugee Law Project est son travail avec les survivants de violences sexuelles, en particulier la manière dont RLP a pu accéder aux survivants masculins et les intégrer parallèlement à son travail existant avec les femmes survivantes. Nous pensons que, depuis qu'elle a explicitement placé les hommes au centre de ses programmes de lutte contre la violence basée sur le genre (VBG) en 2009, RLP a fait plus que toute autre organisation internationale pour fournir une assistance directe aux hommes survivants et à leurs familles, ainsi que pour plaider en faveur d'une changement dans les perspectives et les pratiques mondiales à cet égard. L’impact pratique est visible chez les victimes individuelles qui ont recouvré pleinement leurs fonctions physiques, sociales, sexuelles et économiques. Cela apparaît également clairement lorsque les familles échappent au dysfonctionnement provoqué par l'incapacité des hommes à révéler leur victimisation. Dans de nombreux cas, les deux partenaires des couples de réfugiés ont été victimes, et le Refugee Law Project a pu arbitrer la divulgation entre maris et femmes, conduisant à un traitement conjoint et à de bien meilleures perspectives de rétablissement complet. Cela se compare à la majorité des services qui ciblent uniquement les femmes survivantes.

La souffrance des survivants n’est pas purement physique, elle contient également une grande part de souffrance psychologique et sociale, largement provoquée par la stigmatisation et la marginalisation généralisées des victimes et des survivants. Le Refugee Law Project a habilement ciblé une série de vulnérabilités courantes au sein des populations de réfugiés (personnes vivant avec le VIH, parents élevant des enfants nés d'un viol, personnes vivant avec un handicap, minorités sexuelles et de genre, survivants de la torture et survivants de violences sexuelles liées aux conflits). ), a catalysé une série de groupes de soutien aux réfugiés et a travaillé avec ces groupes pour affronter de front leur stigmatisation commune. Par exemple, dans le cas de l'Association des réfugiés Men of Hope (MOHRAU) en Ouganda, le tout premier groupe au monde d'hommes réfugiés survivants de violences sexuelles liées au conflit (créé en 2011), les membres du groupe ont travaillé main dans la main avec RLP. personnel pour organiser des ateliers de sensibilisation sur la question à l'intention de diverses parties prenantes, allant des responsables des conseils locaux dans les zones d'accueil de réfugiés, en passant par les formations des forces de police ougandaises, et jusqu'à la formation des membres des Forces de défense du peuple ougandais (UPDF). Ce passage de victimes dépendantes d’une aide extérieure à des militants capables de faire entendre leurs besoins aux plus hauts niveaux (par exemple Wilton Park, Royaume-Uni, décembre 2016) est spectaculaire, responsabilisant et fondamentalement bénéfique pour le rétablissement de la santé mentale.

Le personnel du Refugee Law Project a également travaillé sans relâche pour garantir que la question des violences sexuelles contre les hommes liées aux conflits soit intégrée dans un large éventail d’activités de formation, en particulier celles des acteurs humanitaires, des droits de l’homme et de la justice pénale. En 2012, RLP a rédigé la première note d’orientation du HCR sur le travail avec les hommes survivants. En 2014, ils ont collaboré avec l'Institut international d'enquêtes criminelles (IICI) à la conceptualisation et à la mise en scène de l'atelier d'experts sur l'élaboration des lignes directrices de l'IICI pour les enquêtes sur les crimes de violence sexuelle contre les hommes et les garçons (19-20 juin). 2014), un document qui a éclairé l'élaboration de la 2e édition du Protocole international sur la documentation et les enquêtes sur les violences sexuelles dans les conflits, un processus de révision dans lequel RLP a de nouveau été étroitement impliqué. En 2015, RLP a développé la toute première formation sur cette question destinée au personnel du HCR au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. RLP a contribué aux formations de Justice Rapid Response (JRR) sur la meilleure façon d'enquêter sur les violences sexuelles à des fins de poursuites pénales et de crimes de guerre. Depuis 2014, RLP collabore également avec le CERAH (Université de Genève) pour intégrer ces sujets dans leurs formations destinées aux travailleurs humanitaires. RLP a fourni du matériel pédagogique clé à Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) pour la formation interne de son personnel dans l'est de la RDC (République démocratique du Congo). Notre vidéo « Gender Against Men » (2009) est utilisée par l'Union européenne dans sa formation de travailleurs réfugiés.

En plus de veiller à ce que les formations deviennent plus inclusives et complètes, RLP a également travaillé dans des domaines politiques clés pour promouvoir l'intégration et donc l'impact durable à long terme d'une compréhension inclusive du genre et de la violence basée sur le genre. Celles-ci vont de l'intégration de ces conceptions du genre dans le programme de formation de la police nationale en Ouganda (2014), à l'influence sur la révision des lignes directrices du Comité permanent interorganisations sur la violence basée sur le genre (VBG) (2015), qui constituent la base d'une grande partie de la formation des travailleurs humanitaires. En juin 2013, Refugee Law Project a joué un rôle central dans le premier atelier du Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général sur la violence sexuelle dans les conflits (SRSG-SVC) sur la violence sexuelle contre les hommes. En 2016, le directeur du RLP, le Dr Chris Dolan, et le dirigeant de l’association Men of Hope pour les réfugiés en Ouganda, M. Aimé Moninga, ont participé à une conférence à Wilton Park au cours de laquelle les lignes directrices de l’Initiative de prévention de la violence sexuelle sur la stigmatisation ont été élaborées.

Le travail de RLP a parfois été controversé. En 2014, le gouvernement ougandais a suspendu l'organisation pendant dix mois, en partie parce qu'elle considérait son travail auprès des survivants masculins comme un moyen de promouvoir l'homosexualité. Cela en soi a contribué à mettre en lumière l’un des problèmes centraux affectant les survivants masculins, à savoir l’erreur consistant à confondre automatiquement leurs expériences avec l’homosexualité. RLP a été la seule organisation participant au Sommet mondial de 2014 pour mettre fin à la violence sexuelle dans les conflits à présenter plusieurs sessions abordant différentes dimensions de la violence sexuelle contre les hommes liée aux conflits (CRSVAM). Le directeur de RLP a également généré un débat international, par le biais de la Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge (IRRC), sur les tensions entre les programmes de lutte contre la violence basée sur le genre qui donnent la priorité aux femmes et aux filles, et ceux qui adoptent une approche inclusive qui répond à la fois aux besoins des femmes, des hommes, filles et garçons, et voit les interconnexions entre ces besoins. Dans ce contexte, les invitations adressées au directeur du RLP à prendre la parole devant le Forum stratégique de Bled (2015), la Chambre des Lords britannique (2015), le siège de l'OTAN à Bruxelles (2016), le Forum humanitaire du CICR à Genève (2017), le 10e anniversaire du Bureau des Nations Unies sur Sexual Violence in Conflict (2019), sur le thème de la violence sexuelle contre les hommes, représente une reconnaissance importante de la question aux plus hauts niveaux.

Ces réalisations ont été rendues possibles grâce aux partenariats stratégiques du Refugee Law Project ; il s'agit notamment de la Johns Hopkins School of Public Health avec laquelle RLP a développé un outil de dépistage pour l'identification plus précoce des survivants masculins de violences sexuelles dans les contextes humanitaires (2012). RLP s'est associé à l'Institute of Development Studies (Université du Sussex, Royaume-Uni) avec lequel RLP et Men of Hope ont pu étudier l'importance de créer des espaces permettant aux hommes de faire leur propre activisme thérapeutique, des voyages vers l'activisme (témoignages vidéo de survivants), avec un exemple majeur est le film Men Can Be Raped Too, un docu-drame développé, joué et filmé par les membres de Men of Hope avec le soutien technique de l'unité vidéo de RLP (2015). RLP s'est également associé à l'International Human Rights Law Clinic de l'Université de Californie à Berkeley pour rédiger un document de travail sur les cadres juridiques nationaux et internationaux qui ont un impact sur les survivants masculins. Cela a également alimenté le premier Institut Sud-Sud (SSI) sur la violence sexuelle contre les hommes et les garçons, une initiative RLP en collaboration avec Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse Trust – Nouvelle-Zélande et First-Step Cambodge. Le premier institut a eu lieu à Kampala en 2013, le deuxième à Phnom Penh, au Cambodge en 2015, le troisième en Nouvelle-Zélande en 2017, les 4e et 5e à Kampala, en Ouganda en 2019 et 2023. Depuis 2015, le Refugee Law Project est également un projet partenaire du consortium Conjugal Slavery in War dirigé par l'Université York, Canada, et a organisé en mai 2017 un institut d'été sur les relations entre hommes et femmes dans des contextes coercitifs.

Une contribution très importante de RLP est le modèle unique et inspirant qu’il propose à d’autres initiatives humanitaires et à but non lucratif. Ils ont créé un environnement dans lequel les survivants révèlent leurs expériences, créant ainsi la possibilité de réponses systématiques à leurs besoins et même de changements systémiques. En associant sa prestation de services directs à des activités de recherche et de plaidoyer, RLP a également réussi à tirer parti d’un changement global dans la réflexion sur les paramètres de l’un des fléaux de notre époque, la violence sexuelle liée aux conflits. Les éléments clés du modèle RLP qui peuvent être reproduits par d'autres organisations comprennent l'inclusion systématique des réfugiés dans le personnel (environ 25 %) et dans les processus de recrutement du personnel, des politiques anti-discrimination fortes intégrées dans les contrats du personnel, la création de relations de travail solides avec les principaux partenaires. les responsables gouvernementaux tels que la police, l'armée et les prisons, documentant leur expérience pratique et alimentant cette documentation dans les activités de recherche et de plaidoyer, en recherchant uniquement des opportunités de financement qui font avancer la vision et la mission fondamentales de l'organisation.

Le modèle RLP a également été réalisé avec des ressources limitées, dans un climat de financement où pratiquement aucun donateur de violences sexuelles et basées sur le genre (SGBV) ne demande de travailler avec des survivants masculins dans ses appels à propositions (il convient de noter que pendant la période où les États-Unis Le Bureau de la population, des réfugiés et des migrations (PRM) a lancé un appel à propositions incluant des appels à travailler avec des hommes et des garçons. Le RLP a reçu un financement substantiel du PRM pour trois cycles de projet consécutifs).

Le Refugee Law Project n’aurait pas pu connaître le succès qu’il connaît sans une forte capacité organisationnelle. Cette capacité est évidente dans un certain nombre d’indicateurs. Sa réputation d'intégrité financière a été reconnue par sa nomination en tant qu'organisation chef de file d'un consortium tripartite, ainsi que par des subventions de partenaires internationaux. D'autres indicateurs incluent une forte rétention du personnel, ainsi que des niveaux élevés de réussite du personnel cherchant à poursuivre des études entièrement parrainées. Au cours des cinq dernières années, en moyenne 3 membres du personnel par an ont bénéficié de bourses entièrement financées à l'étranger, principalement pour des études de niveau master. Le Refugee Law Project est également devenu le point de départ pour les étudiants internationaux de maîtrise et de doctorat qui entreprennent des recherches et des travaux de terrain sur la violence sexuelle liée aux conflits contre les hommes et leurs familles.

Sur la base de l'impact direct du Refugee Law Project sur les communautés, de l'accent mis sur les formations et les changements de politiques, de l'accent mis sur la durabilité et l'évolutivité, de l'accent mis sur l'engagement d'une couverture universitaire et médiatique très respectée pour accroître la compréhension et éliminer la stigmatisation, et de leur contribution unique et leadership dans ce domaine difficile, nous exhortons vivement tout le monde à soutenir le travail du Refugee Law Project.

En avril 2923, le Dr Ojara De-Saxone Pius a été nommé nouveau directeur du Refugee Law Project (RLP). Le Dr Ojara remplace le Dr Chris Dolan qui a déménagé au Royaume-Uni pour devenir professeur de développement durable mondial à la School for Cross-faculty Studies de l'Université de Warwick.

Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi ni shirika pekee duniani ambalo limeweka msisitizo wa kimsingi katika kuendeleza programu kwa ajili ya wanaume walionusurika na familia zao. Jitihada zao za kina zinajumuisha ushirikiano wa moja kwa moja na waathirika na familia zao katika uwanja huo, programu za mafunzo kwa taasisi na washiriki wa kwanza, mageuzi ya sera muhimu, kuanzisha ushirikiano wa kimataifa, na kudumisha shirika linalostahimili na endelevu ambalo limepitia changamoto mashinani. Kupitia mipango hii, Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi umeathiri kwa kiasi kikubwa mazungumzo ya kimataifa juu ya unyanyasaji wa kijinsia, kukuza mbinu jumuishi zaidi na kuongeza ufahamu, hasa katika miktadha ya haki ya kibinadamu na ya mpito, na uwezekano wa kufaidisha waathirika wengi.

Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi ni mradi wa kufikia jamii wa Shule ya Sheria, Chuo Kikuu cha Makerere. Ilianzishwa mwaka 1999, awali ikiwa na mkazo finyu katika usaidizi wa kisheria kwa wakimbizi, tangu wakati huo imepanuka na kuwa kituo kikuu cha haki na uhamiaji wa kulazimishwa katika ukanda wa Afrika mashariki. Ikiwa na Makao Makuu huko Kampala, tangu 2010 imejenga uwepo mkubwa katika (Lord's Resistance Army) maeneo yaliyoathiriwa na LRA kaskazini mwa Uganda (Kitgum na Gulu), pamoja na maeneo ya kuhifadhi wakimbizi kusini na kati ya Uganda (wilaya za Isingiro na Hoima) . Kufuatia mradi mkubwa wa uchunguzi wa uzoefu wa ghasia ambao uliungwa mkono na Kituo cha Kutayarisha Maafa Duniani (GDPC), na kwa usaidizi mkubwa wa kifedha kutoka kwa serikali ya Uholanzi, Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi kwa sasa unapanua uwepo wake katika maeneo matatu muhimu yanayohudumia utitiri wa Wakimbizi wa Sudan Kusini; Lamwo, Adjumani na Kiryandongo.

Kipengele kimoja bora cha Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi ni kazi yao na waathirika wa unyanyasaji wa kijinsia, hasa jinsi RLP imeweza kufikia waathirika wa kiume na kuwaunganisha pamoja na kazi yao iliyopo na waathirika wanawake. Tunaamini kwamba, tangu kuwafanya wanaume kuwa lengo lao la Ukatili wa Kijinsia (GBV) mwaka 2009, RLP imefanya zaidi ya shirika lolote la kimataifa kutoa usaidizi wa moja kwa moja kwa wanaume walionusurika na familia zao, na pia kutetea mabadiliko katika mitazamo na mazoea ya kimataifa katika suala hili. Athari ya kiutendaji inaonekana kutoka kwa waathiriwa ambao wamepata utendakazi kamili wa kimwili, kijamii, kingono na kiuchumi. Ni wazi pia wakati familia zinapoepuka matatizo yanayosababishwa na wanaume kushindwa kufichua unyanyasaji wao. Katika matukio mengi wenzi wote wawili katika wanandoa wakimbizi wamekuwa wahanga, na Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi umeweza kupatanisha ufichuzi kati ya waume na wake, na kusababisha matibabu ya pamoja na matarajio makubwa zaidi ya kupona kabisa. Hii inalinganishwa na huduma nyingi zinazolenga wanawake pekee walionusurika.

Mateso ya waathirika si ya kimwili tu, pia yana kiasi kikubwa cha mateso ya kisaikolojia na kijamii, ambayo kwa kiasi kikubwa yanachochewa na unyanyapaa ulioenea na kutengwa kwa wahasiriwa na walionusurika. Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi umelenga kwa ustadi anuwai ya udhaifu wa kawaida kati ya idadi ya wakimbizi (Watu Wanaoishi na Virusi vya UKIMWI, Wazazi wanaolea Watoto Waliozaliwa kwa Ubakaji, Watu Wanaoishi na Ulemavu, Makundi Ndogo ya Kijinsia na Jinsia, Walionusurika katika Mateso, na Waathirika wa Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia unaohusiana na Migogoro. ), ilichochea anuwai ya vikundi vya usaidizi kwa wakimbizi, na kufanya kazi na vikundi hivi ili kukabiliana na unyanyapaa ulioshirikiwa. Kwa mfano, kwa upande wa Chama cha Wakimbizi cha Men of Hope (MOHRAU) nchini Uganda, kundi la kwanza kabisa duniani la wakimbizi wa kiume walionusurika na unyanyasaji wa kingono unaohusiana na migogoro (ulioanzishwa mwaka 2011), wanakikundi wamefanya kazi bega kwa bega na RLP. wafanyakazi ili kutoa warsha za kuongeza uelewa juu ya suala hili kwa wadau mbalimbali kuanzia viongozi wa Halmashauri za Mitaa katika maeneo ya kuhifadhi wakimbizi, kupitia mafunzo ya Jeshi la Polisi la Uganda, na hadi mafunzo kwa wanachama wa Jeshi la Ulinzi la Wananchi wa Uganda (UPDF). Mabadiliko haya kutoka kwa waathiriwa ambao wanategemea usaidizi kutoka nje, kwenda kwa wanaharakati wanaoweza kufanya mahitaji yao yasikike katika viwango vya juu zaidi (k.m. Wilton Park, U.K., Desemba 2016), ni ya ajabu, yanawezesha, na yanafaa kwa ajili ya kurejesha afya ya akili.

Wafanyakazi wa Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi pia wamefanya kazi bila kuchoka ili kuhakikisha kwamba suala la unyanyasaji wa kijinsia unaohusiana na migogoro dhidi ya wanaume linajumuishwa katika shughuli mbalimbali za mafunzo, hasa za kibinadamu, haki za binadamu na watendaji wa haki ya jinai. Mnamo 2012, RLP iliandika mwongozo wa kwanza wa UNHCR juu ya kufanya kazi na wanaume walionusurika. Mnamo mwaka wa 2014, walishirikiana na Taasisi ya Kimataifa ya Uchunguzi wa Jinai (IICI) katika uundaji wa dhana na maoni ya kuweka eneo la tukio katika warsha ya Wataalam juu ya ukuzaji wa Miongozo ya IICI ya Uchunguzi wa Uhalifu wa Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia dhidi ya Wanaume na Wavulana (19- 20 Juni. 2014) hati iliyoarifu uundaji wa toleo la 2 la Itifaki ya Kimataifa ya Uhifadhi wa Nyaraka na Uchunguzi wa Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia katika Migogoro, mchakato wa mapitio ambao RLP ilihusika tena kwa karibu. Mnamo 2015, RLP iliandaa mafunzo ya kwanza kabisa kuhusu suala hilo kwa wafanyakazi wa UNHCR katika Mashariki ya Kati na Afrika Kaskazini. RLP imetoa mchango katika mafunzo kwa Justice Rapid Response (JRR) kuhusu jinsi bora ya kuchunguza unyanyasaji wa kingono kwa madhumuni ya mashtaka ya jinai na uhalifu wa kivita. Kuanzia 2014 na kuendelea, RLP pia imeshirikiana na CERAH (Chuo Kikuu cha Geneva) kujumuisha mada hizi katika mafunzo yao kwa wafanyikazi wa kibinadamu. RLP imetoa nyenzo muhimu za mafundisho kwa Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) kwa mafunzo ya ndani ya wafanyikazi wake mashariki mwa DRC (Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo). Video yetu "Jinsia Dhidi ya Wanaume" (2009) inatumiwa na Umoja wa Ulaya katika mafunzo yake ya wafanyikazi wakimbizi.

Pamoja na kuhakikisha kwamba mafunzo yanajumuisha zaidi na ya kina, RLP pia imefanya kazi katika maeneo muhimu ya sera ili kukuza ujumuishaji na hivyo matokeo endelevu ya muda mrefu ya uelewa jumuishi wa unyanyasaji wa kijinsia na kijinsia. Mambo haya yanaanzia kujumuisha uelewa kama huu wa jinsia katika Mtaala wa Kitaifa wa Mafunzo ya Polisi nchini Uganda (2014), hadi kushawishi marekebisho ya Miongozo ya Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia ya Kamati ya Mashirika ya Kimataifa (GBV) (2015) ambayo ni msingi wa mafunzo mengi ya wafanyakazi wa kibinadamu. Mnamo Juni 2013, Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi ulihusishwa kwa kiasi kikubwa katika warsha ya kwanza ya Mwakilishi Maalum wa Katibu Mkuu kuhusu Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia katika Migogoro (SRSG-SVC) kuhusu unyanyasaji wa kijinsia dhidi ya wanaume. Mnamo 2016, Mkurugenzi wa RLP, Dk. Chris Dolan, na kiongozi wa Chama cha Wakimbizi cha Men of Hope nchini Uganda, Bw. Aimé Moninga, walihusika katika mkutano wa Wilton Park ambapo Miongozo ya Mpango wa Kuzuia Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia kuhusu unyanyapaa iliandaliwa.

Kazi ya RLP wakati fulani imekuwa na utata. Mnamo mwaka wa 2014, Serikali ya Uganda ilisimamisha shirika hilo kwa miezi kumi, kwa sehemu kwa sababu waliona kazi yao na wanaume walionusurika kama njia ya kukuza ushoga. Hili lenyewe lilisaidia kuangazia moja wapo ya maswala kuu yanayoathiri wanaume walionusurika, ambayo ni makosa ya kuchanganya uzoefu wao na ushoga. RLP ndilo lilikuwa shirika pekee katika Mkutano wa Kimataifa wa Kukomesha Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia katika Migogoro wa 2014 ili kuwasilisha vipindi vingi vinavyoshughulikia masuala tofauti ya Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia Dhidi ya Wanaume (CRSVAM) Unaohusiana na Migogoro. Mkurugenzi wa RLP pia ameibua mjadala wa kimataifa, kupitia Mapitio ya Kimataifa ya Msalaba Mwekundu (IRRC), kuhusu mvutano kati ya upangaji wa GBV ambao unawapa kipaumbele wanawake na wasichana, na ule ambao unachukua mtazamo jumuishi ambao wote unashughulikia mahitaji ya wanawake, wanaume, wasichana na wavulana, na kuona miunganisho kati ya mahitaji hayo. Kutokana na hali hii, mialiko kwa mkurugenzi wa RLP kuhutubia Bled Strategic Forum (2015), British House of Lords (2015), Makao Makuu ya NATO Brussels (2016), ICRC Geneva Humanitarian Forum (2017), Maadhimisho ya Miaka 10 ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Ofisi hiyo kuhusu Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia katika Migogoro (2019), juu ya mada ya unyanyasaji wa kijinsia dhidi ya wanaume, inawakilisha utambuzi muhimu wa suala hilo katika viwango vya juu zaidi.

Mafanikio haya yamewezeshwa na ubia wa kimkakati wa Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi; haya yamejumuishwa na Shule ya Johns Hopkins ya Afya ya Umma ambayo nayo RLP ilitengeneza zana ya uchunguzi kwa ajili ya utambuzi wa awali wa wanaume walionusurika katika unyanyasaji wa kijinsia katika mazingira ya kibinadamu (2012). RLP ilishirikiana na Taasisi ya Mafunzo ya Maendeleo (Chuo Kikuu cha Sussex, Uingereza) ambao RLP na Men of Hope waliweza kujifunza umuhimu wa kuunda nafasi kwa wanaume kufanya Shughuli zao za Kimatibabu, Safari za Uanaharakati (shuhuda za video za waliopona), na mfano mkuu ukiwa filamu ya Men Can Be Raped Too, tamthilia ya docu iliyotengenezwa, kuigizwa na kurekodiwa na wanachama wa Men of Hope kwa usaidizi wa kiufundi kutoka kitengo cha video cha RLP (2015). RLP pia imeshirikiana na Kliniki ya Kimataifa ya Sheria ya Haki za Kibinadamu ya Chuo Kikuu cha California Berkeley kuandika karatasi kazi kuhusu mifumo ya kisheria ya ndani na ya kimataifa ambayo huathiri wanaume walionusurika. Hii pia iliingizwa katika Taasisi ya 1 ya Kusini-Kusini (SSI) juu ya Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia Dhidi ya Wanaume na Wavulana, mpango wa RLP kwa ushirikiano na Wanaume Walionusurika katika Dhamana ya Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia - New Zealand, na Kambodia ya Hatua ya Kwanza. Taasisi ya kwanza ilifanyika Kampala mwaka 2013, ya 2 Phnom Penh, Kambodia mwaka 2015, ya 3 New Zealand mwaka 2017, ya 4 na 5 Kampala, Uganda mwaka 2019 na 2023. Tangu 2015 Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi pia umekuwa mshirika katika muungano wa Utumwa wa Wanandoa katika Vita unaoongozwa na Chuo Kikuu cha York, Kanada, na Mei 2017 iliandaa Taasisi ya Majira ya Mahusiano ya Wanaume na Wanawake katika Mipangilio ya Kulazimisha.

Mchango muhimu sana wa RLP ni mtindo wa kipekee na wa kutia moyo ambao hutoa kwa mipango mingine isiyo ya faida na ya kibinadamu. Wameunda mazingira ambayo walionusurika hufichua uzoefu wao, na kuunda uwezekano wa majibu ya kimfumo kwa mahitaji yao na hata mabadiliko ya kimfumo. Kwa kuunganisha utoaji wao wa huduma moja kwa moja na shughuli za utafiti na utetezi, RLP pia imeweza kuongeza mabadiliko ya kimataifa katika kufikiria kuhusu vigezo vya mojawapo ya majanga ya wakati wetu, unyanyasaji wa kingono unaohusiana na migogoro. Mambo muhimu katika muundo wa RLP ambayo yanaweza kuigwa na mashirika mengine ni pamoja na ujumuishaji wa kimfumo wa wakimbizi kwa wafanyikazi (takriban 25%) na katika michakato ya kuajiri wafanyikazi, sera dhabiti za kupinga ubaguzi ambazo zimeingizwa katika mikataba ya wafanyikazi, kuunda uhusiano thabiti wa kufanya kazi na muhimu. watendaji wa serikali kama vile polisi, jeshi na magereza, wakiandika uzoefu wa vitendo na kuwasilisha nyaraka hizi katika shughuli za utafiti na utetezi, kutafuta tu fursa za ufadhili zinazoendeleza dira na dhamira ya msingi ya shirika.

Muundo wa RLP pia umefikiwa kutokana na rasilimali chache, katika mazingira ya ufadhili ambapo kwa hakika hakuna wafadhili wa Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia na Kijinsia (SGBV) wanaomba kazi na wanaume walionusurika katika wito wao wa mapendekezo (ikumbukwe kwamba katika kipindi ambacho Marekani Ofisi ya Idadi ya Watu, Wakimbizi na Uhamiaji (PRM) ilitoa wito wa mapendekezo ambayo yalijumuisha wito wa kufanya kazi na wanaume na wavulana, RLP ilipokea ufadhili mkubwa kutoka kwa PRM kwa mizunguko mitatu ya mradi mfululizo).

Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi haungeweza kupata mafanikio uliyonayo bila uwezo mkubwa wa shirika. Uwezo huu unaonekana katika idadi ya viashiria. Sifa yake ya uadilifu wa kifedha ilitambuliwa kwa kuteuliwa kwake kama shirika kuu la muungano wa pande tatu, pamoja na ruzuku kutoka kwa washirika wa kimataifa. Viashirio vingine ni pamoja na uhifadhi thabiti wa wafanyikazi, pamoja na viwango vya juu vya kufaulu kwa wafanyikazi wanaotafuta masomo zaidi yaliyofadhiliwa kikamilifu. Katika miaka mitano iliyopita, wastani wa wafanyakazi 3 kwa mwaka wamekuwa kwenye ufadhili wa masomo unaofadhiliwa kikamilifu nje ya nchi, hasa kwa ajili ya masomo ya ngazi ya Uzamili. Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi pia umekuwa mahali pa kuanzia kwa wanafunzi wa kimataifa wa M.A. na PhD kufanya utafiti na kazi ya uwanjani kuhusu unyanyasaji wa kingono unaohusiana na migogoro dhidi ya wanaume na familia zao.

Kulingana na athari za moja kwa moja za Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi kwa jamii, mkazo wao katika mafunzo na mabadiliko ya sera, mtazamo wao katika uendelevu na uthabiti, umakini wao katika kuhusisha utangazaji wa kitaaluma na vyombo vya habari unaoheshimika ili kuongeza uelewa na mabadiliko ya unyanyapaa, na mchango wao wa kipekee na uongozi katika uwanja huu wenye changamoto, tunahimiza sana kila mtu kuunga mkono kazi ya Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi.

Mnamo Aprili 2923, Dk. Ojara De-Saxone Pius aliteuliwa kuwa Mkurugenzi mpya wa Mradi wa Sheria ya Wakimbizi (RLP). Dkt. Ojara anachukua nafasi ya Dk. Chris Dolan aliyehamia Uingereza na kuwa Profesa wa Maendeleo Endelevu Ulimwenguni katika Shule ya Mafunzo ya Kitivo Mtambuka katika Chuo Kikuu cha Warwick.
