The
term “conflict-related sexual violence” refers to rape, sexual slavery, forced
prostitution, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, enforced sterilization, forced
marriage and any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity
perpetrated against women, men, girls or boys that is directly or indirectly
linked to a conflict.
“The
term also encompasses trafficking in persons when committed in situations of
conflict for the purpose of sexual violence or exploitation,” informed Sandeep
Marwah Ambassador of IHRO affiliated to United Nations and Patron to IFUNA-
Indian Federation of United Nations Associations.
On 19 June 2015, the United
Nations General Assembly proclaimed 19 June of each year the International Day
for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, in order to raise awareness
of the need to put an end to conflict-related sexual violence, to honor the
victims and survivors of sexual violence around the world and to pay tribute to
all those who have courageously devoted their lives to and lost their lives in
standing up for the eradication of these crimes.
