ASP was founded in December 2016 as an independent research project jointly hosted by the Williams Institute and the Health and Human Rights Law Project, UCLA School of Law. All Survivors Project’s (ASP) mission is to support global efforts to eradicate conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and strengthen national and international responses through research and action on CRSV against men and boys, including those with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and/or sex characteristics (SOGIESC), as well as other people with diverse SOGIESC.
ASP’s work is guided by international human rights and humanitarian norms and standards; the best interests, dignity and safety of all survivors of CRSV; and principles of non-discrimination. ASP prioritises the interests and perspectives of survivors, working directly with them wherever possible to inform its research and action and to ensure that their needs and wishes guide efforts to end and respond to CRSV.
