from Women's Media Center, April 15, 2015
On Monday, a report
from the UN was made public by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that
highlights sexualized violence in war. The report, which will be
presented to the UN Security Council today, covers attacks conducted in
2014 and describes violence against women in 19 countries—13 conflict
zones, five countries that are recovering from conflict, and one
“additional situation of concern” (Nigeria).
But at least one human rights group has questioned how all-encompassing
the report can possibly be, with the numbers of attacks on women
actually incredibly low in many of the included conflicts.
