The CGD team together with 3 POLIS students attended the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict last year.  The Summit was co-hosted by Angelina Jolie, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and William Hague, the Foreign Secretary. While world and religious leaders were discussing the Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, the CGD team spent days listening to different talks, presentations and discussions at the event’s vibrant fringes scene. Our impressions from the event can be found in the blog posts below:
