From mass rapes in Sudan to attacks on schools and shelters in Gaza and Syria, and the segregation of women in Afghanistan, protection is collapsing as wars intensify. Speaking to Talk to Al Jazeera, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed warns that violence against women is not a side issue but a front-line threat to peace and development."
"Speaking to Talk to Al Jazeera, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed warns that violence against women is not a side issue but a front-line threat to peace and development. With funding shrinking and the political will faltering, she confronts hard questions about the world's failure to protect those most at risk."
"From Sudan to Gaza, impunity for violence against women is fuelling conflict worldwide, the UN's deputy chief warns."
Impunity for violence against women is fueling conflict across multiple regions, undermining security and stability. Women and girls are experiencing escalating violence with near-total impunity. Mass rapes in Sudan, attacks on schools and shelters in Gaza and Syria, and the enforced segregation of women in Afghanistan illustrate collapsing protection as wars intensify. Violence against women operates as a front-line threat to peace and development rather than a peripheral issue. Funding for protection and prevention is shrinking while political will falters. The result is a global failure to safeguard those most at risk.
