The mandate of the "Coalition for Women's Human Rights in Conflict Situations" is to promote the adequate prosecution of perpetrators of crimes of gender violence in transitional justice systems based in Africa. The intention is that through creating precedents that recognise violence against women in conflict situations this will forge a path towards obtaining justice for women survivors of sexual violence. This site contains information on the work of Coalition members at both the local and international levels and advocacy dossiers for the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), and the Special Court and Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Sierra Leone.
