A/HRC/26/17 E/CN.6/2014/8 27. A mobile phone application, MediCapt, that securely documents, photographs and transmits forensic evidence of sexual violence to the police, hospitals and the courts is being piloted by the organization (see also para. 51). Officials from the medico-legal networks will be trained in the use of the application, which features a specialized medical uptake form for incidents of sexual violence against men and women, data mapping and cloud data storage. By harnessing the power of technology to document violence, the programme will also facilitate early warning and rapid response systems and assist in investigating and prosecuting sexual violence. Ultimately, the programme expects to strengthen accountability for such crimes. 28. Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is another organization that is working to enhance the capacity of civil society to document sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict contexts and to support domestic and international accountability processes. The programme, which is being implemented in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, the Sudan and Uganda, aims to increase women’s participation in transitional justice mechanisms and to ensure that women’s needs and perspectives are integrated into peace processes. In the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the organization is strengthening the capacities of women’s rights advocates to document sexual violence. In 2013 alone, the programme documented more than 300 incidents of sexual violence. The information gathered is being used in the prosecution of crimes of sexual and gender-based violence and the organization is advocating its use by the International Criminal Court to support its ongoing investigations. 29. Prosecution is one aspect of achieving justice in conflict, post-conflict and transitional contexts. Institutional reform and non-judicial processes and mechanisms, including material and symbolic reparations, are also needed. In Cambodia, the Trust Fund is supporting the Victims Support Section of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia in its efforts to address gender-based violence during the Khmer Rouge era. Through dialogue and the sharing and dissemination of survivors’ testimonies, the Victims Support Section is helping to raise awareness in communities and encouraging acknowledgement of the extent and impact of gender-based violence under the Khmer Rouge. 30. An unknown number of women were subjected to gender-based violence, including forced marriages, between 1975 and 1979. In order to document those crimes, in 2013 the Victims Support Section created the first online information platform on gender-based violence under the Khmer Rouge. 13 The platform disseminates research and data gathered by the Victims Support Section and its partners and has become a valuable resource for the Government of Cambodia, researchers and civil society groups worldwide. 31. The Victims Support Section is also fostering dialogue on gender-based crimes through a series of six national radio programmes, community forums, support groups and interactive theatre. Through these initiatives, many communities are learning for the first time about the lasting impact of gender-based violence under the Khmer Rouge. 32. In 2011 and 2012, in partnership with national and international human rights organizations, the Victims Support Section co-sponsored two regional women’s hearings in which survivors from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal and Timor-Leste __________________ 13 8/16 Available from http://gbvkr.org/. 13-61736
