Sexual violence against men and boys (SVAMB) in humanitarian emergencies has become a prominent topic in research and on the international policy stage in recent years. Simultaneously, there has been a slow but steady increase of attention to gendered harms against persons of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). These shifts, albeit slow and belated, are in many ways welcome and overdue.
