Summary
- All Survivors Project (ASP) makes the following submission to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine in response to its recent call for relevant information and documentation regarding the human rights situation in conflict-affected Ukraine. This submission specifically sets out ASP’s observations and concerns regarding the extent and impact of CRSV on Ukrainian men and boys, including the barriers they face in reporting and receiving support, the need for specialised service provision, and the need for safe, survivor-centred pathways for investigation and justice processes.
- Since 2024, ASP has been supporting male survivors/victims of CRSV in Ukraine and conducting research on the impacts and barriers to accessing legal and healthcare services. This work is carried out in partnership with survivors/victim-led peer support groups, civil society groups, and the Ukrainian state actors. We support survivors/victims in amplifying their perspectives and advocating for services, medical assistance, justice, and accountability. The observations in this submission draw on de-identified and aggregated information from ASP’s survivor support work and research, as well as the reporting and analysis by other trusted national and international organisations. ASP plans to publish more detailed findings from its ongoing research in 2026.
