Abstract

This report examines the pervasive yet under-recognised issue of sexual violence
affecting refugees and other migrants along the Central Mediterranean migration
route, which stretches from sub-Saharan and East Africa through transit countries
such as Sudan, Niger and Libya towards Europe. While widely known as one of the
deadliest migration routes, the report argues that its most overlooked feature is the
systematic and normalised perpetration of sexual violence throughout the journey.
