A/HRC/29/3 E/CN.6/2015/6 33. Trust Fund grantee, the Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health responded to the heightened need for services resulting from the escalating conflict i n the Donetsk region, which continued to fuel increased instability and violence in the region. Nearly 300 state and non-governmental organization service providers engaged in training on responding to cases of violence against women, with a special focus on girls and young women living and working on the streets and HIV-positive women and girls. In addition, a protocol drafted by the Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health was approved by members of a multisectoral working group, partner agencies and the Ministry of Social Policy. 34. A total of 306 survivors of violence against women — 117 in Kyiv and 189 in three up-scale cities — were identified, referred and received assistance. The number of clients receiving programme services rose to 329 and 176 sur vivors of gender-based violence, including HIV-positive and/or street-involved women and girls, were engaged in the empowerment training programme. 35. With support from the Trust Fund, the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is implementing a project that seeks to address violence against women in conflict, post-conflict and transitional settings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Sudan and Uganda. The project’s goal is to advance gender justice in countries under investigation by the International Criminal Court. Working with a wide range of local partners, Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice documentation data and advocacy directly contributed to the gathering of evidence that supported the prosecution of sexual and gender-based crimes in nine cases relating to the four project countries. In 2014, the project reached 4,959 women and girls and 31,612 secondary beneficiaries across the target countries. 36. In Uganda, the Parliament adopted a landmark resolution calling for reparations for war-affected women and other victims of the Lord’s Resistance Army. The resolution followed years of advocacy by the women ’s movement, including the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice and their partners. The resolution came at a crucial moment and helped to create greater momentum for gender justice. 37. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, local partners highlighted continued improvements in documentation, thanks to the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice project. The Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice documentation was used to identify witnesses and directly contributed to the inclusion of additional charges of rape and sexual slavery of child soldiers in the International Criminal Court indictment of Bosco Ntaganda. This was the first time that a military leader had been indicted under international law for acts of sexual violence committed against child soldiers within his own militia. 38. Almost 774 survivors of gender-based violence who would otherwise not have had access to medical support were referred through the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice-supported Transit House project in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Survivors received an initial medical assessment and psychosocial support; 70 per cent went on to receive specific medical treatment, including surgery for rape-related injuries. 14-67252 9/13
