Key Findings Youth-friendly post-rape care services can increase engagement in health services among sexual violence survivors, yet there are knowledge gaps in effective training approaches in humanitarian contexts. Graphic medicine approaches, such as comic books, offer a medium for training health care providers to improve clinical care practices but are understudied in relation to post-rape care services in humanitarian contexts.

Workshop Learning Outcomes Participants shared how the comic book format was helpful in increasing their knowledge about sexual violence in general. Others discussed acquiring knowledge of appropriate responses to instances of SGBV or sexual harassment, including how to identify, report, and assist and support survivors. Participants indicated how this knowledge helped them to better support survivors.
