The United Nations has reported a concerning increase of over 100% in sexual violence cases within conflicts since 2024, with new countries like Israel and Russia being added to the list of those employing such tactics. Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, highlighted this alarming trend ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. The report indicates that over 90% of reported cases involve women and girls, with Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan experiencing the highest numbers. Patten also emphasized that unprecedented funding cuts to the UN, particularly from the United States, are severely impacting essential services for survivors in countries like Afghanistan, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic, and Palestine. This lack of resources hinders timely medical care and support for victims.
