Deeply concerned about the systematic sexual abuse and violence. We must all fight impunity and #EndSGBV

We must end the widespread use of sexual violence as a tactic of war. 2 years after #EndSGBVOslo conference, Norway and partners continue our fight.
-FM #EriksenSoreide

[Robert Mardini @robert_mardini]

In 2019, @ICRC, local partners & humanitarian agencies united at the #EndSGBVOslo Conference. We continue to support survivors with lifesaving healthcare, economic support and protection. Sexual violence in armed conflict is absolutely prohibited under #IHL.

[Utenriksdepartementet @Utenriksdept]

For lite gjøres for å forebygge vold & overgrep i humanitære kriser.

For få av de som rammes får nok hjelp.

For få straffes for overgrepene.

Seksualisert vold brukes som taktikk i krig, og påfører mennesker og samfunn varig skade.

#EndSGBV - i dag og hver dag
