Human Rights

25,000 women and children have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on 8 October 2023. Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion, some 3,238 women and girls have been killed and 4,872 wounded, and the war has displaced some 4 million people in Ukraine, 56% of whom are women. Médecins Sans Frontières reported 18,000 cases of sexual violence in the North Kivu province (Democratic Republic of Congo) between January and October 2023. Victims of the direct consequences of bombardments such as starvation or lack of health care, women suffer all kinds of gender-based violence. What’s more, the migration crisis particularly affects women, increasing their oppression and exploitation.
