Abstract
Sexual violence has captured press headlines and accountability narratives since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But the Ukrainian response to such violence – which seeks to provide both criminal accountability and wider support to survivors – has received far less attention. Civil society, especially women’s organizations and survivor groups, is leading the charge amid limited State capacity and the devastation of the ongoing all-out war. Yet the scale of the sexual and other gender-based violence (SGBV) will require a comprehensive victim-centred approach as a non-negotiable part of any eventual peace and Ukraine’s post-conflict recovery.
