UNFPA: Nightmare within a Nightmare - Sexual Violence in Yemen and other Humanitarian Crises

"In Yemen, reports of gender-based violence increased 36 per cent between 2016 and 2017.

Last week, the Governments of Norway, Iraq, Somalia, the United Arab Emirates, as well as UN OCHA, UNFPA, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other partners, held a ground-breaking collaboration calling for commitments and funding to end these abuses. The two-day conference brought together delegations from 90 countries, as well as top United Nations officials, Nobel Peace Price Laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege and many civil society representatives."
