In April of 2019, Dr. Fernando was invited to present on the medical care of sexual and gender-based violence survivors at the United Nations Expert Panel and Workshop in Geneva on “Surviving Torture and Fighting Stigma: The Road to Recovery for Victims of Sexual and Gender-based Torture.” The two-day workshop held in April brought together 23 professionals from various backgrounds (medical, psychological, social and legal) and 3 survivors to share best practices and identify effective responses to challenges in redress for and rehabilitation of survivors of sexual and gender-based torture.
