Training

Training is offered both in the practical and research area

Training for practitioners

The needs of children born of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) are complex, largely unaddressed by humanitarian actors, and intersect with those of their mothers and families. However, available evidence on what works to address their complex needs through a survivor-centred approach remains scarce, and research on this topic in humanitarian settings even more so.

In order to fill this gap and building on the momentum created at the international level, the CBOW Project has developed a short in-depth course in partnership with international experts in this field and children born of CRSV activists, focused on building the capacities of humanitarian and human rights practitioners, as well as other professionals working to address CRSV through research,  advocacy and policy-making, to better respond to the needs of children born of CRSV and of their families.

Training, research area

CBOW are often part of a hidden population in conflict and post-conflict settings. Thus conducting research is often characterised by multiple methodological and ethical challenges. Research on CBOW often applies a large variety of different data sources which adds to the specific challenges of data collection. Research thus often combines a variety of different sources, from administrative data to personal documents, photos and media reports. All these different sources not only have specific requirements with regards to analysis and interpretation, but also with regards to sensitivity, ownership, and documentation of metadata. CBOW Project offers, in cooperation with partners, various training courses on how to conduct research on CBOW. For information see Ødegaard, Ingvill Constanze and Kleinau, Elke. “Reflections on Methodological Approaches and Challenges in Researching Children Born of War”.
