International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict

International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, established by the UN in 1995, stands as a beacon of support and solidarity for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. This day aims to shed light on the harrowing experiences endured by individuals subjected to rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, pregnancy, abortion, sterilization, marriage, and other forms of sexual violence in conflict settings. It underscores the urgent need to address and eradicate such atrocities, while advocating for justice, protection, and empowerment for survivors worldwide.
