This report was written by researchers from The Organization for Justice and Accountability in the Horn of Africa (OJAH) and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR).
The report benefited from review by members of PHR staff, the PHR Advisory Council and the PHR Board for Directors, as well as members of the OJAH Board of Directors. The research team would like to recognize the strength and resilience of the survivors whose experiences and stories are reflected within this data and the dedication of the health professionals who provided services, while documenting these violations, often at grave risk to their personal safety.
