Today, we remember those affected by conflict-related sexual violence. From Sudan to Ukraine, tackling this crime is a matter of international peace and security. I will continue to drive international action to support survivors, bring perpetrators to justice and end impunity.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we commend the role of the Catholic networks in supporting survivors and tackling the profound impact of this horrific crime. The 🇬🇧’s commitment to tackle sexual violence in conflict remains resolute.
