dc.description.abstract | Stressing that sexual violence thrives on silence and impunity, UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon, today in Addis Ababa called on world leaders to speak out against the horrors of rape and sexual violence that are usually termed “unspeakable”. Mr. Ban said at a media event on Sexual Violence in Conflict at the margins of the 16th African Union Summit, that while the crime of sexual violence was not particular to any culture or continent, the challenge faced by leaders is to prevent the “cycle of violence and vengeance; discrimination and disempowerment; rage and recrimination that give rise to rape as a tactic of war.” Stressing that prevention is possible, the Secretary-General said that the UNAMID (the UN and African Union Mission in Darfur) “Firewood Patrols” had been able to increase women’s freedom of movement and cut the number of rapes, while in Liberia, the presence of female police had improved reporting and response on sexual violence. | en |
