Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict
The Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict took place at ExCel London on 10 – 13 June 2014. Foreign Secretary William Hague co-chaired the summit with Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The aim of the Summit was to take practical action to improve the lives of victims and to establish best practice for obtaining witness testimony of sexual violence in conflict. The Summit welcomed over 100 countries and over 900 experts, NGOs, survivors, faith leaders, and international organisations from across the world that share our commitment to end sexual violence in conflict. British Embassies and High Commissions around the world took part in parallel events to coincide with the Summit. It was the biggest global meeting on this issue ever convened.
