VP Harris: ‘We Must Speak Truth About the Prevalence of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls, and Men and Boys’

Harris: “And it starts, of course, with awareness and acknowledgment. We must speak truth about the prevalence of conflict-related sexual violence against women and girls, and men and boys. All of these crimes are too often ignored. The UN estimates that for each rape documented in connection with a conflict, there are 10 to 20 cases that go undocumented. Conflict-related sexual violence must be condemned unequivocally wherever and whenever it occurs.”
