- Description
- The study investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of humanitarian service providers concerning the recognition of and response to the phenomenon of male victims of conflict-related sexual violence against males. Sources of literature in respect to the awareness, understanding, and recognition of conflict-related sexual violence against males were explored. Perceptions about the recognition of male victims were discovered. Response strategies available to male victims were explored through the experiences of humanitarian organisation representatives, including, inter alia, programme managers, gender-based violence advisers, protection officers and activists. Mechanisms to augment any existing practices to allow for the care of and support for male victims were examined. A qualitative research approach was used to explore the topic of this study. Data was collected using semi-structured interview questions that were developed. And document review was also used as the second means of data collection. The research participants were recruited using purposive sampling, which was complemented by snowballing until data saturation. Triangulation was used by combining the two data collection methods to avoid relying on one source. A narrative literature review was aimed to obtain further information about the phenomenon of conflict-related sexual violence against males.
