"Like many women in Israel, I have also experienced a rude feminist awakening during this war. I’ve lost Palestinian comrades who did not like my condemnation of Hamas’ violence against Israeli women on October 7, and I’ve lost Jewish friends who regarded women in Gaza as legitimate targets.

"After some painful reflection, I’ve come to learn the strength and courage we women must cultivate to unequivocally denounce any violence against a woman’s body as abhorrent, whether" the aggressor is Palestinian or Israelian.

+972 Magazine · Where’s the outrage over sexual violence against Palestinians?Despite mounting evidence of gender-based crimes, Israeli and international women’s groups have largely ignored or denied the UN’s damning new report.

The unspoken trauma of sexual crimes against Ukrainian men by the Russian army.

Sexual violence is being used by the Russians as a form of torture in nearly all detention centres, both in Russia and in occupied areas.

Over 68% of the victims are male, according to the United Nations. However, the voices of survivors are so rare that this phenomenon remains largely invisible.

#Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western #Media

Women are routinely sexually abused during home invasions by the Israeli military. They’re forced to disrobe – sometimes in front of their male relatives – and adopt humiliating poses for the soldiers to film them, Khraim said. During some #WestBank home invasions, the other advocate testified, Israeli soldiers touched Palestinian women sexually and threatened them with rape, all while their male relatives were handcuffed. The soldiers “make sexual noises and gestures, threaten to rape [the woman] even, doing this in front of [her male relatives] while they're being handcuffed or blindfolded, not able to stop it, not able to protect [their] daughter, sister, whatever it may be. It's a form to not only control the woman, but also control the men as well, and break up the family and, in turn, break up society as a whole.”

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects inside genitals” of the detained, Khraim testified. The female Israeli soldiers raped both men and women, photographing and often filming the assaults.

A man has confessed to fifteen rapes after drugging his victims. The 34-year-old suspect is a landscaper by profession and has no criminal record. According to the prosecutor in Montpellier, he "admitted to filming the events and acting under the influence of cocaine." In January, two women filed a complaint at a police station in Southern France, claiming they had been raped at home by their landscaper.

"The Trump regime is now stuffed with alleged rapists and sexual abusers. Besides Trump himself, there is his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and Hhealth and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr; Trump’s first pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, was accused in a House ethics report of 'regularly' paying for sex, including with minors."
