In August 2025. The United Nations announced annually Secretary General Report for Sexual Violence in connection with conflictA warning of steep growth of sexual violence during the conflict. As the report indicates, both state and non-state actors were responsible for violation in over 20 countries, and the highest numbers recorded in the Central African Republic (car), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Haiti, Somalia and South Sudan. Report, presentation of data from 2024. years, they stated that women and girls collected most of the victims, but men, boys, people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and gender identities, range from one to 75. years. Many such attacks were accompanied by extreme physical violence, including abstracts of execution.

The report emphasized the use of sexual violence in custody “, including the form of torture, Libya, Mianmar, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic. Most reported incidents occur in custody, in terms of previous years and included rape and felling of genitals.” However, the report also emphasized that the forms of sexual violence in detention in detention also affected women and girls. In addition, in several settings, humanitarian approach to detention locations was strictly limited or blocked, which further hit monitoring and reporting of cases of sexual violence, but also denied victims of life-saving victims.

The report initiated the use of sexual violence in the context of abduction and human trafficking. Among other things, “in Sudan, women and girls were accompanied by quick support, where they raped, and forcibly, it was forcibly held, in Nigeria, women’s unstated armed group was used to encourage fighters.”

The report lists dozens of state and non-state actors who are credible suspects or are responsible for forms of sexual violence in armed conflicts. For the first time, the report also names Sides “on notice“For a potential list in the next annual report, including Russia and Israel,” due to significant concerns about the forms of certain forms of sexual violence who have consistently documented the United Nations. “In relation to Russia, the Secretary General indicated violations of violations of Russian Armed and Safety Groups in Ukraine and the Russian Federation. These injuries have stated genital violence, such as genital violence, such as genital violence, as What are genital violence, such as genital violence, and forcibly removed both prolonged and long-lasting and long-lasting, the Secretary-General, the Secretary-General, the existence of “credible information on the violation of Israel’s armed and security forces, committed against Palestinians in several prisons, by the detention center and a military base. Cases that are documented by the United Nations indicate patterns of sexual violence such as genital violence, extended forced nudity and repeat strips of strips conducted in a violent and humiliating way. “

The report further emphasized the need for justice and responsibility. However, as notices, the unparallelation of sexual violence in the conflict remained norms 2024. years, and continuous conflict and lack of political responsibility processes in the national level. As emphasized, “often, formal justice is unavailable for the lack of legal assistance and needs to reach competent authorities, the safety risks and the costs associated with the ban. Victims of complaints and stigma”. Although some regions have seen progress in justice and responsibilities, such efforts continue to represent the tip of the iceberg.

The report consists of several recommendations for solving a growing number of cases of sexual violence in connection with the conflict. However, with the proliferation and escalation of conflicts globally, record levels of displacement and militarization and very few political will to address these issues, recommendations will probably be defective.
