Stop Rape Now

STOP RAPE AS A WEAPON OF WAR

Sexual violence in conflict is an atrocity affecting millions of people, primarily women and girls. It is employed by soldiers and other combatants in conflict to humiliate opponents, terrify individuals, and destroy societies. Yet, rape remains largely ignored in conflict prevention and peace-building efforts. Many still view sexual violence as an inevitable consequence of conflict - an attitude that encourages impunity for perpetrators.

But, we can end this.

Be a part of the growing movement to encourage governments and support civil society organizations to end sexual violence in conflict.
