📢 Last June, the Capacity Building Team at the Centre for African Justice Peace and Human Rights (CAJPHR) joined the Youth Peace Summit 2026 to host "African Voices and the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda" - a panel discussion that focused on African youth voices in the global peace and security conversation.

The session was moderated by Joanna Tom-Kargbo, with panellists Alusine Bangura (Sierra Leone), Karim Ibrahim Mohammed Ore (Somalia), and Michealla Njemina (White Ribbon Alliance). Each panellist shared their country's context and their organisation's work and challenges, followed by an open discussion with participants. The session closed with hard-won recommendations for building a more inclusive YPS agenda.🌍✊

We would also like to mention the help of Hani Ahmed, who took the initiative in bridging The Centre for African Justice Peace and Human Rights and Youth Peace Summit.

Today, 18 July, marks Nelson Mandela International Day.
The Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights honours Nelson Mandela’s lifelong commitment to justice and human dignity.

In 2015, the UN adopted the Nelson Mandela Rules in recognition of the 27 years Mandela spent in prison, affirming that all prisoners must be protected from violence, abuse, and degrading treatment.

The Sexual Violence team at CAJPHR works to ensure male victimisation, including in detention settings, is not overlooked within existing protection frameworks.

On this day in 1998, the Rome Statute was adopted, marking the Day of International Criminal Justice. ⚖️

The Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights reaffirms its commitment to ending impunity for the world’s gravest crimes.

The Rome Statute established the and explicitly recognized sexual violence as war crimes and crimes against humanity (Article 7(1)(g) and Article 8(2)(b)(xxii)).

The Sexual Violence team at CAJPHR works within this framework every day, researching CRSV across countries including Mali, Sudan, and the DRC, and pushing for stronger domestic legal frameworks to hold perpetrators accountable.

Today, June 19th, marks the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict.

The Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights stands in solidarity with survivors, advocates, and communities working to end conflict-related sexual violence and recognizes the boys and men too often overlooked in international protection frameworks.
Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2015, the day raises awareness of the urgent need to end CRSV, honours victims and survivors, and pays tribute to those who have devoted their lives to ending these crimes. This year’s observance focuses on the children subjected to these crimes.

Sexual violence against males has been reported in more than 25 countries over the past decade, yet existing reporting mechanisms remain predominantly female-focused. Harmful ideas surrounding masculinity and shame mean that many male survivors never disclose what has happened to them.

The Sexual Violence team at CAJPHR works to break down these stigmas through advocacy, research, and awareness. Read more about our work on CRSV against men and boys by clicking on the link in bio.

📣Excited to share the release of our recent podcast episode! 🎙️

In the 6th episode of ‘Destigmatising Justice with Christoph Sodemann’, members of the Sexual Violence Team at the Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights join Christoph Sodemann to discuss the making of the documentary ‘Weapon of War: Sexual Violence against Men’ and the motivations behind documenting conflict-related sexual violence against men and boys.

This important conversation highlights the widespread yet often invisible nature of sexual violence against male survivors in conflict settings, including the impact of stigma, shame, and fear of being associated with homosexuality.

We reflect on conflicts such as the Srebrenica Genocide and the war in Ukraine, Christoph Sodemann explores how these events shaped public understanding of sexual violence against men and the urgent need for greater recognition of male survivors.

The episode further examines the ethical and practical challenges of interviewing survivors, from re-traumatisation and confidentiality to legal risks and survivor protection, while discussing how journalism, documentaries, and social media can help bring more attention to these experiences and push for recognition in public and policy discussions.

📣 Today, the Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights (CAJPHR) observes International Boys’ Day, also known as the International Day of the Boy Child - a day dedicated to focusing on boys and their wellbeing.

Founded by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a Historian and Senior Lecturer in History at the University of the West Indies, the day highlights the challenges boys face globally and the positive contributions they bring to their families and communities. Research continues to show that boys are more likely to experience educational disadvantage, violent crime, and conflict-related sexual violence. Yet, boys remain invisible in conversations around protection, justice, and recovery.

Too often, the boy is forgotten in the context of conflict-related sexual violence and violent crime; this needs to be recognised and addressed to successfully empower boys and their well-being. At CAJPHR, we stand with boys and men affected by violence, conflict-related sexual violence and injustice by advocating for protection, justice and accountability.

This conversation continues in our upcoming podcast episodes titled ‘Destigamatising Justice - A Podcast on Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Against Men and Boys’, Christoph Sodemonn joins the Sexual Violence team to discuss the making of his documentary ‘Weapon of War: Sexual Violence against Men and the realities of conflict-related sexual violence against men and boys.’

Furthermore, an important conversation unravels with the founder of International Boys’ Day, Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, bringing insight on fatherhood and male role models, toxic masculinity, and the overlooked issue of conflict-related sexual violence against men and boys.

Every boy deserves safety, dignity, support, and the opportunity to thrive!

The Sexual Violence Team of the Centre for African Justice, Peace and Human Rights is pleased to present a powerful conversation with Christoph Sodemann on the making of the documentary ‘Weapon of War: Sexual Violence against Men and the realities of conflict-related sexual violence against men and boys.’

This important conversation highlights the widespread yet often invisible nature of sexual violence against men and boys in conflict settings, including the impact of stigma, shame, and fear of being associated with homosexuality.
