The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was launched in October 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize laureates 2018. Their mission is to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) around the globe, thus responding to a gap long identified by survivors.

They act to provide interim reparative measures in situations where states or other parties are unable or unwilling to meet their responsibilities. They advocate for the legally responsible parties (duty bearers) and the international community to develop reparations programmes. They also guide states and civil society by providing expertise and technical support for designing reparations programmes. Their survivor-centric approach is the cornerstone of their work.
