last updated August 4, 2008 This section provides a collection of materials that may be useful to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in work on the issue of sexual assault. These materials are organized in the following manner:
General Resources on Sexual Assault includes reports that discuss the issue of sexual assault broadly, without focusing on a particular region or topic.
Reports by Institution includes reports on sexual assault that are available from the United Nations, in particular, from the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women. Research and reports on sexual assault are also available from the Council of Europe, the European Union, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
Reports by Topic includes resources on the issues addressed in Sexual Assault: Explore the Issue.
Further On-Line Resources includes links that provide additional information about sexual assault and are excellent research gateways.
For a discussion of international and regional law and policy on sexual assault, see [Sexual Assault: Law and Policy] [link]. Further information about the United Nations system and the [European human rights system] [link] is also available in the International Law section of this site.
This collection is not an exhaustive list of materials available on the web or elsewhere, nor are reports on the problem of sexual assault in specific countries included here. Please see the country pages for research and reports on sexual assault in specific countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in the former Soviet Union (FSU). |
