Mukwege Foundation

Mukwege Foundation We are an international rights-based, survivor-centred organisation working to change the response to conflict-related sexual violence.

The Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation supports survivors’ demands for a world where sexual violence as a weapon of war is no longer tolerated, and bears consequences for individual perpetrators and states. We work for a future where survivors receive the holistic care & compensation they need to rebuild their lives. We create opportunities for survivors to speak out and be heard, and where they can org

anise to create change, influence policies, and demand justice and accountability. We are working towards a future where sexual violence in conflict is no longer seen as inevitable, but is recognised for what it is: a crime that should have consequences.

In September, as we mark 10 years of the Mukwege Foundation, more than 50 supporters will be running the Dam tot Dam Charity Run in the Netherlands to stand in solidarity with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. Together, we are calling for an end to the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.

💡 How do survivor-centred approaches challenge narrow, legalistic models of accountability?

To address this question, the Mukwege Foundation participated in the roundtable on “Intersectional Approaches to Survivor-Centred Justice Initiatives in Myanmar” on August 16th in Chiang Mai, Thailand, alongside a survivor representative from the network Survivors United for Rights and Justice-SURJ, Legal Action Worldwide, Burmese Women's Union and Chin Human Rights Organization.

🎙️ The survivor representative from SURJ shared: “For survivors, justice does not end with winning a case in court or seeing the perpetrator punished. Governments must recognise that a large number of survivors have suffered,” and added: “Survivors also need a safe and secure environment and should be able to return to their communities with dignity and without being stigmatised or excluded.”

Amanda, Myanmar Project Coordinator at the Mukwege Foundation, also remarked on the importance of adopting a survivor-centred approach to justice, one that places survivors’ voices, needs, dignity, safety, and agency at the heart of justice processes.

Justice for survivors is not only about accountability. It is also about healing, recognition, and the ability to rebuild survivors’ lives.

This panel was part of the 5th International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies.

Standing with survivors. Ending sexual violence in conflict.

🎗️The Mukwege Foundation has a clear mission: to end sexual violence used as a weapon of war and ensure that survivors around the world receive the justice, care and support they deserve.

In 2025 alone, the Foundation supported:

• 950+ survivors with medical care
• 600+ survivors with psychosocial support
• 7,400+ survivors through survivor-led networks across 29 countries 📍🌍

But this work is far from finished.

This year, 50+ runners participate in the Dam tot Dam to support the Mukwege Foundation and raise funds for this important work.

Every donation helps the Foundation continue standing with survivors and working towards healing and justice.

For the past decade, the Mukwege Foundation has worked alongside survivors of conflict-related sexual violence to expand access to holistic care, strengthen survivor-led networks, amplify survivors' voices, and advance accountability and justice.

This year we are taking part in the Dam tot Dam Run in the Netherlands to raise awareness of our mission to end conflict-related sexual violence and raise funds to ensure survivors receive the support, recognition, and justice they deserve.

📣 For the first time, the Mukwege Foundation is taking part in the Dam tot Dam Run (NN Dam tot Damloop), one of the largest running events in the Netherlands, on 19–20 September! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

This year we mark 10 years of standing with survivors. To celebrate this important milestone, we've brought together 11 teams of runners who are taking on the challenge to raise awareness of conflict-related sexual violence and raise vital funds to support survivors.

We are incredibly grateful to every colleague, friend, and supporter who is running, donating, and standing with survivors. Every contribution helps us continue our work alongside survivors and strengthens our mission: a world where sexual violence as a weapon of war is eradicated, and no survivor is left behind.

👟👟 Please like, share, and help spread the word so we can reach even more people and make an even greater impact.

This year, the Mukwege Foundation marks ten years of standing with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. Reaching the important milestone of 10 years has given us the opportunity to reflect on how far we've come, the impact we've made together with survivors, and the work that still lies ahead.

Please share this post and help us reach more people with our mission.

Together, we can continue to support survivors and work towards a world free from conflict-related sexual violence.

As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we honour the courage, resilience, and leadership of survivors around the world—and reaffirm our commitment to the work that lies ahead.

For 10 years, the Mukwege Foundation has been listening, learning, and working together to advance healing, dignity, justice, and survivor leadership.

Over the past decade, survivors have shown us what is possible when voices are heard, rights are recognised, and communities come together. We have learned that together, we can achieve so much.

Yet we also know that there is still much more work to be done to ensure that every survivor can access justice, care, and recognition.

This week, we celebrate the voices of survivors who remind us that justice, solidarity, and survivor-led action can transform lives.

These stories remind us that lasting change is possible when survivors are at the centre.
