What we can learn about reparation from sexual violence survivors? | Esther Dingemans | TEDxGVAGrad

Esther Dingemans highlights the prevalence of sexual violence globally, both in peacetime and conflict zones, and the inadequacy of the justice system's response to survivors. Drawing inspiration from women she has worked with and helped, she advocates for the implementation of reparation programs to acknowledge the harm done to survivors and assist them in healing and rebuilding their lives. The narrative of the speech underscores the urgency of addressing sexual violence, offering a call to action for individuals and governments to support survivors and create meaningful change. Esther Dingemans is a leading expert on developing and implementing survivor-centred programmes addressing conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). With her expertise in community-driven projects, capacity building, and holistic care for survivors, Esther became the founding Director of the Dr Denis Mukwege Foundation. There, she worked on uniting survivors to advocate globally through one network and developing holistic care programmes. Esther transitioned from the Mukwege Foundation to Global Survivors Fund, where she is now working to realise the right to reparation for survivors of CRSV. Prior to these roles, Esther led programmes fighting CRSV in Guinea, Ivory Coast, Sudan (Darfur), Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Syria. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
