Since the 7 October attacks on Israel, the subsequent devastating war on Gaza and the escalation of violence across the Middle East, women and girls have been attacked and killed, made targets of gender-based violence, taken hostage, illegally detained, deprived of their fundamental rights, starved, and prevented from meeting their own, and their families’, needs.
The rights of every woman, whoever she is, must be respected at all times and in every situation, by all parties.
