“Women’s bodies should not be war zones.” — Tom Fletcher, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, sexual violence is being used as a weapon of war. Survivors shared their stories with @UNReliefChief — a reminder that behind every statistic is a life shattered, a body violated, a future stolen.

This is not collateral damage. It’s targeted terror. Women and girls are not footnotes in conflict—they must be at the center of the humanitarian response.
Silence is complicity. Awareness is action.
