UN Against Sexual Violence in Conflict

In April this year, @unmissmedia helped set up a task force to #EndRapeInWar in Jonglei, #SouthSudan 🇸🇸. Tensions in the area are putting more women & girls at risk of conflict-related sexual violence. @UN Peacekeeping is committed to protecting civilians. @endrapeinwar

The sexual violence endured by the #SepurZarco grandmothers left deep wounds that would remain long after their bodies healed. Their trauma echoes through generations.   Justice means breaking the cycle.

1 fille sur 5 dans le monde est mariée de force avant ses 18 ans.  1 sur 5.  Il est impératif de lutter contre le mariage forcé d’enfants et de protéger leurs droits.  #EndChildMarriage

Sandals making, tailoring, knitting, baking, and soap making. In South Sudan, thanks to livelihood activities we can turn #CRSV survivors into agents of change in their communities. Listen to the @RadioMiraya / @unmissmedia interview: rb.gy/v6jkiq

According to @UNFPA, women and girls in Sudan – and increasingly men and boys – are facing a high risk of sexual violence, 80% higher than last year   No one should endure the horror of sexual violence – not in war, not ever.

Healing is a collective act.   By breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma caused by conflict-related sexual violence, we build a future rooted in justice and care.

On #InternationalCriminalJusticeDay, we reaffirm our commitment to justice for survivors of sexual violence. Accountability is key to ending impunity.

Accountability is vital to heal & rebuild. On Day of International Criminal Justice, we root for domestic courts delivering justice for grave crimes. See how UN joint efforts support survivor-centred justice in CAR & Guinea👉go.undp.org/UXt @endrapeinwar @RevaiMakanje

For every future generation, the abuelas of #SepurZarco rise against conflict-related sexual violence. Their fight for justice is a promise: never again. #EndRapeInWar

Senior Women Protection Advisers (SWPAs) are a critical part of our mandate. By monitoring, analysing, and reporting #CRSV cases, they participate in implementing the #WPS agenda and contributing to #EndRapeinWar.

Conflict-related sexual violence is not collateral damage.    It’s a weapon of war that fractures lives, uproots communities, and leaves scars that span generations. #EndRapeInWar

At @UN HQ, #ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan met with USG Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Partnerships are essential to effectively address gender-based crimes in #Darfur & across all #ICC situations.

Across the world, survivors and their children born of wartime rape continue to struggle with the traumatic legacy of the crimes perpetrated. #EndRapeInWar

In the Andari Women’s Friendly Centre, survivors of conflict-related sexual violence come carrying pain and leave carrying hope. Here, they find safety, dignity and the strength to rise again.

Survivors of conflict-related sexual violence deserve accountability, no matter how long it takes. Time won’t silence the truth. #EndRapeInWar

Telling their story is an invaluable step in the survivors’ healing process. Their voices break silence, shatter stigma, and spark change. Read their testimonies, in their own words: tinyurl.com/wwda262z
