This document is an executive summary of the mapping report on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Iraq 2003-2018, which was developed by Iraqi Al-Amal Association, Impunity Watch, and PAX. In the clear absence of gender-sensitive data, particularly data dealing with taboo issues such as sexual violence, this executive summary, which is based on the mapping report, seeks to address this gap and shed light on the general contexts in which SGBV crimes and violations are increasingly perpetrated. The mapping exercise also seeks to identify the most common patterns and locations in which these violations are committed and their root causes, determine the general profiles of perpetrators, and review the root causes for the continuance of these crimes and violations.
