In this session, Drs. Cohen, Nordås, and Dayal presented their research on sexual violence, exploitation and abuse conducted in wartime contexts and in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions. The presentation focused on variation in the prevalence, and key characteristics, of sexual violence (perpetrator, victim, location, etc.) as well as the challenge of collecting accurate and ethical data on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA). Participants called for better data collection and recommended triangulating data to document variation in SEA prevalence in order to help identify patterns and risk factors.
