Looking for resources on sexual assault as a human rights issue



Hello, colleagues. I'm looking for leads on organizations, materials and/or
workshop modules that address sexual assault as a human rights issue.
Specifically, I'm interested in how practitioners internationally and in the
U.S. have used the human rights framework to address situations such as:

- sexual assault as torture
- rape in custody
- sexual violence within the community and/or family
- rape as a socio/medical issue for immigrants and refugees
- public health as a human right
- violence prevention projects with a focus on sexual assault
- on-campus human rights responses to sexual assault

I'm working with a group to develop a workshop for sexual assault advocates,
helping them to connect their work to the global human rights movement.
Especially helpful will be examples and/or concrete tools for how
practitioners and survivors use the human rights framework to aid their work
with other victims and survivors. Please send ideas, contacts and references
to: Elizabeth Jennings, liz@idealist.org.

Many thanks!
EJ
