The International Protocol was presented at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict held in June 2014 in London on the initiative of the then UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and the Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Angelina Jolie. The objective of the Initiative is to shatter the culture of impunity for sexual violence in conflict; the Protocol is one of the main tools to do this, and will be launched in BiH at the Congress Hall of Parliament on Wednesday 19 November 2014.

To this end, the event will present the protocol, followed by a screening of BIRN’s film “The Silent Scream” and an accompanying panel discussion. Afterwards there will be a brief reception, during which organisations from Banja Luka and the surrounding areas will display promotional material concerning their work, as well as handicraft products made by survivors of sexual violence in conflict.

This event is a joint endeavour of the British Embassy in BiH, the OSCE Mission to BiH, the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN), the Post Conflict Research Centre (PCRC), the Peace Support Operations Training Centre, Medica Zenica and other NGOs and institutional partners.

Due to limited space available, please RSVP by 22 November to pcrc.bih@gmail.com.

Međunarodni protokol je predstavljen na globalnom samitu "Zaustaviti seksualno nasilje u konfliktu", koji je održan u junu 2014. godine u Londonu na incijativu tadašnjeg britanskog ministra vanjskih poslova Williama Hague i specijalne izaslanice UNHCR za izbjeglice Angeline Jolie. Cilj inicijative je da razbije kulturu nekažnjavanja seksualnog nasilja u konfliktu; protokol je jedan od ključnih alata za postizanje toga, a biti će predstavljen u BiH kongresnoj sali parlamenta u srijedu, 19. novembra 2014. godine.

S tim u vezi, protokol će biti predstavljen u Banja Luci, a nakon čega će uslijediti prikazivanje BIRN-ovog filma „Nečujni krik“ i prateća panel diskusija. Nakon prezentacije organizovan je kratki prijem na kome će organizacije iz Banja Luke i okolnih mjesta predstaviti svoje promotivne materijale kao i rukotovorine koje su napravile preživjele žrtve seksualnog nasilja u konfliktu.

Ova prezentacija je zajednički poduhvat Britanske ambasade u BiH, OSCE misije u BiH, Balkanske istraživačke mreže (BIRN BiH), Centra za postkonfliktna istraživanja (PCRC), Centra za obuku i podršku mirovnim operacijama (PSOTC), Medica Zenica i drugih NVO i institucijalnih partnera.

Radi ograničenog broja mjesta, molimo Vas da odgovorite na poziv najkasnije do 22. novembra na pcrc.bih@gmail.com.
