⛔Sexual violence has been systematically used to discriminate, punish, and control entire communities in Sudan, as well as to target human rights activists with the aim of stifling democracy and obstructing their pursuit of justice and equality. 🌎The international community must act now to ensure accountability and reparation for all survivors in Sudan.

June 19 is International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. Proud to join @Hadassah, @JewishWomenInternational, I Believe Israeli Women Global Movement, @NationalCouncilofJewishWomen and @AMMWEC to call on the UN to condemn Hamas for its weaponization of sexual violence against Israeli women and girls on and after October 7 and to call Hamas’ criminal actions what they are: crimes against humanity. #EndTheSilence https://bit.ly/3zicEEL

On a human level, this should not be tolerated in any way shape or form.

Highlighting the urgent need for recognition and understanding, Sarah Morley's insightful analysis sheds light on the disproportionate and gender-specific impacts of violence in Gaza, particularly on Palestinian women and girls.

WILPF UK is a member of Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS). Earlier this month, GAPS released a Statement in response to the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict’s report on visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank. "The distressing findings indicate the key recommendation from Ms. Patten: “Continue to encourage the Government of Israeli to grant, without further delay, access to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, to carry-out fully-fledged investigations into all alleged violations that would deepen the preliminary findings contained in the present report.” Such an investigation also plays a necessary role in the public debate, where mis- and dis-information around sexual violence has further inflamed rhetoric with material consequences, including in the rise of Islamophobic and anti-Semitic hate crime and the shaping of policy responses from other governments." https://lnkd.in/edHci2g3 #crsv #conflictrelatedsexualviolence #violence #peace #freedom #unitednations #wilpf Women's International League for Peace and Freedom - WILPF

The network also aims to raise awareness, advocate for policy changes, and promote the rights of marginalized communities. 🔨 This informative session provided our team with essential tools to combat hate crimes and advocate for marginalized communities. #EndRacism #CombatHateCrime #RacistViolence #HumanRights #Empowerment #SocialJustice #AMURTELGreece #UNHCR #TogetherWeRise #SupportMarginalizedCommunities

🔵 Elevating Women to Lead in Transitional Justice At Synergy for Justice, we know that peace and reconciliation cannot be achieved without the full inclusion of women. In this video, Nathalie K.
