Today at the United Nations in Geneva, Generative AI for Good introduced Hearing Their Voices, an initiative using ethical AI to help survivors of conflict-related sexual violence share their testimonies safely.

The initiative shows how responsible AI can expand access to safe testimony and strengthen global efforts toward justice, documentation, and survivor-led truth telling.
