What is SGBV? Why does the topic of sexual violence become relevant in times of war? How to talk to victims? What ethical and legal aspects should be taken into account and why journalists need to take care of their own mental health?Тhe topic of covering conflict-related sexual violence is very painful, difficult and, unfortunately, relevant. And CRSV is not just about rape.
