⛑️How Does the Mandate Protect Civilians?
CRSV is a civilian protection issue. Preventing it safeguards bodies, rights, dignity, and communities. Civilian protection must include protection from sexual violence.#NotATarget #PoCWeek2026 #EndRapeInWar #CRSV #WomenPeaceSecurity

Across conflicts, sexual violence is used as a tactic of war.
In 2025, the @UN verified over 9,300 cases of sexual violence. 95% of the victims were women and girls.
Survivors face significant barriers to health services and justice.
Sexual violence must end. Perpetrators must be held to account.

🗣️UN Action supports survivors to tell their stories.
Survivors aren’t numbers. CRSV shatters lives — and prevention starts by listening to them.

🔒UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict puts civilians first.
A 21% rise in civilian deaths shows protection is collapsing, and CRSV grows in those gaps. Stronger civilian protection prevents CRSV. #NotATarget #PoCWeek2026 #SGBV #EndRapeInWar #CRSV #WomenPeaceSecurity

Sexual violence is a war crime. It must stop now, and perpetrators must be held to account.

It’s not just bullets and bombs.
Today’s wars are fought beyond the battlefield.
Information warfare spreads fear, hate, and falsehoods - with consequences for civilians.
Conflict‑related sexual violence is also being used to terrorize communities, fracture social fabric, and inflict lasting trauma.

À 85 ans, Kakaro a été violée, mutilée et a perdu toute indépendance à vie.
Les violences sexuelles en conflit détruisent des vies - à tout âge.
En RDC, nous exigeons justice, réparations et fin de l’impunité, en travaillant avec l’État et des partenaires locaux pour que ces crimes cessent.
Le silence protège les auteurs. L’action protège les survivantes.

Rose survived rape, ethnic violence, and the loss of her family during #Burundi’s civil war - without justice, services, or acknowledgment.
Our Office works to document conflict‑related sexual violence, amplify survivors’ voices, and push for accountability, so women’s bodies are never again used as weapons of war. #EndRapeInWar

1.8 billion girls lack legal protection from #DigitalViolence - a vulnerability magnified in situations of conflict, where online abuse often fuels and mirrors sexual violence on the ground. Failing to protect girls in digital spaces means leaving them exposed in real‑world crises.
Our Office works to strengthen accountability, support national authorities, and advance survivor‑centered protection so that girls are safeguarded both online and offline, especially in conflict settings.

A turning point - and an ongoing journey.
A catalytic project funded by @UNAction (2020–2021) reshaped Somalia’s National DDRR Programme, enabling @iom_somalia to expand reintegration support to women disengaged from VEOs, many of them CRSV survivors.
The work continues.
