Inspired by Devi’s personal determination and leadership of a national-level justice movement challenging and ending the ongoing impunity for wartime rape in Nepal, our impact campaign sought to empower her fight by bringing her international recognition and support.
We facilitated meetings with high-level influencers and policymakers, got the UN to feature Devi’s survivor testimony in a new worldwide record of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), and brought her to a key international conference in London where she took the stage to inform globally-gathered decision-makers of her achievements. She has since been recognised as a key CRSV expert and consulted by the British government on development of new CRSV survivor treatment guidelines.
