We will explore solutions to fill current legal gaps especially related to the lack of State responsibility, but also to strengthen the enforcement of existing obligations. It is also intended to serve as an advocacy tool for survivor groups, CSOs, and NGOs. Emotional awareness: the ability to remain comfortable enough with your emotions to react in constructive ways, even in the midst of a perceived attack. It aims to address the awareness gap to provide States with an accessible and easy to use tool to ensure that they are meeting their obligations in preventing, stopping, and responding to CRSV under international law. To successfully resolve a conflict, you need to learn and practice two core skills: Quick stress relief: the ability to quickly relieve stress in the moment. The Guidebook compiles the applicable international law and standards relevant to CRSV in order to inform States of their current obligations in a comprehensive manner. As a part of our goal to change the status quo, we have started with the creation of the Red Line Guidebook on State Obligations for Conflict-related Sexual Violence. We want to accomplish real change and we need support from a global and diverse community of different actors, with survivors of CRSV centred at the core of our efforts. Despite these efforts, we firmly believe that more must and still needs to be done. We recognise that decades of work have been put into efforts seeking to end conflict related sexual violence and important progress has been made. The Red Line Initiative collaborates with the Global Network of Victims and Survivors to End Wartime Sexual Violence ( SEMA Network) in identifying gaps within the existing law and its implementation – as well as proposing solutions to address them. Unfortunately, perpetrators of these crimes largely go unpunished, and judicial processes do not meet survivors’ needs. It is a strategy used by armed groups fighting in conflicts worldwide for a range of reasons: to terrorise a civilian population, to persecute and destroy an ethnic group, as a ‘reward’ for combatants, or for financial gains. More and more, it is recognised that conflict-related sexual violence is not random or merely opportunistic. The use of sexual violence in conflict can be prevented and must be prioritised as wholly unacceptable. The RED LINE INITIATIVE is rooted in the belief that conflict-related sexual violence represents a violation of our shared humanity and can no longer be accepted as an unfortunate but unpreventable part of armed conflict. The Red Line Initiative is inspired by Dr Denis Mukwege’s call for bold and new thinking to finally put an end to the wholly unacceptable use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
