a conflict. and in the middle of that, women and girls have been subjected to her refill human rights abuses and sexual violence. i want to give you one example. this young woman was going to get groceries for her children, her 2 young children. she was poor off a boss, and then gang rate for 11 days. his story easy. he said to me, listen to me. you go where we tell you to go. otherwise we will blast your belly out with this knife. we don't want to waste any of the bullets. we will cut your throat with this knife. then i screamed out, villagers found her unconscious and bleeding. she had a broken leg and severe internal injuries at the hospital. doctor's removed blood soaked items, including nails, that soldiers forced into her body after she was raped because after the whole, i have spent a month in this hospital, i am receiving treatment. my legs do not move,

they are broken. my back is also broken. let alone moving. i can't even get up. i cannot control my hearing. there was a mix of urine and blood coming out of me. the enemy has destroyed my life. that is just one woman's story. how many also women and little girls are being subjected to sexual violence like that in the te gray region. the 3 gastro about to me will help us understand what is going on. mars saw santa maggie. ha, thank you so much. for being on the stream today, a really awful topic to talk about myself. first of all, introduce yourself to our stream audience. my name is my, i am the researcher and the human rights activist pharmacy. thank you so much for being with us. santa introduce yourself to ask you to tell them who you are, what you do. hi, for me. thank you for having me on this show. my name is tamara, i'm the executive director for more legacy leadership and advocacy and human rights

stories that you know? absolutely happening. sure, so 6 months on now from the thought of the conflict in the region that have been widespread reports of sexual violence and abuse in and around to grow because of the conflict as well as a number of different ways in which women didn't really being impacted because of the crisis where we can, we can get on to later many, i've been on both sides of the border into by itself as well as any su dunaway over 60000 refugees from to go. i have led to and i've spoken to many of the displaced people within the camps in to guy as well as over the border, any sudan and, and pretty much everyone i spoke to. we counted multiple accounts of having witnessed hurdles, gang rape happening into guy,

as well as countless evidence of the abuses as well on women and girls. furthermore, a recent gender analysis that the international rescue committee did just found that women, all as an military and crisis, all burying the part of this crisis mazda as a, to create activists in you. you looking at the situation in your, your home region and what are you seeing? what are you hearing, particularly when it involving women and girls we continue to hear how, with tennessee race is being used as a delivery strategic to chain torture and harm. not only the woman and girl, the guy, but also the grand community in general will. so here that, you know, with an i trip alongside other work tactics being used to raise and cleanse this again, identity and the people so clearly at the sexual violence. that was

a nice way of increasing day by day and embrace survivors where you know every tender story to speak with john ellis. this are facing a very mounting harassment and attack by the english meter band government. and it's corny, susan ethiopia, and i know how much official knowledge might have been about these rapes these attacks actually happening. send me back by some, amanda, i said the situation to grace extremely, extremely stop. the reality is my math was this is a close particularly between wrong and 2. great. it is to tuition modernization. i'm very concerned about it since 2018 since i came to power. he have been great. have be used by inter done soldier course. if you're only in room one, this is obviously the international committee in attention in 2018 are long, you know, he took into national document. it was right there was killing in particularly

good area, but unfortunately that she's not being talked about in. that's really what i want to really talk about it. of course, in addition to the report that is getting in a 2 graphs and what the woman or 2 guys facing, obviously we are beyond that into just commit this, but it's really nothing new. we have used a rate war to really punish the woman the goals and issues not being the issue about your room. yeah. i see masa, you're not a, you had go ahead, articulate the note. i just wanna, i just wanna add to the fact that rate is being used as a cation not only today, but also own, of course, in the country or from any to new goals. that according to unit 3 and centralized government, then you will be made with different kinds of hiring work, including and practicing with an address. so i just wanted to add to the fact that

also women and young girls are being done great. not only by members of them in the army, but we also hear reports of every time being deep in the autumn. you're committing the same kind of genocidal crime that there they have been and continue to comment in today. i want to bring in here, mary cart and mary caught, makes a point of how difficult it is for women in east go get any way to report rape, sexual abuse. he, she is, have a listen to this medea and then come off the back of the video raping other forms of sexual violence are so taboo in this region. like in many other places that women and girls are afraid to report. but what we do know is that a few houses are completely overwhelmed with media now is an investment in local, gray and organizations who are the 1st responders to this crisis. yes, so i completely agree with that. we do need to engage local organizations. i mean, one of the things that we have seen are national committee is the widespread under

reporting of these crimes just because of the stigma attached. so there's really no real way of, of getting an idea of the scale of what's happening just because of the under reporting. but given the reports that we're hearing from others, you know, the situation is so widespread. so i just, i'm scared to think how widespread, in reality, the situation is. i think it's also important at this, this point just to point out that, you know, there are other ways that, that women are suffering because of this conflict. i mean, one of the things that we found in gender analysis that we carried out of the international rescue committee was we found out that women are having to engage for example and sexually explored to relationships just to just to be able to survive or feed their children for very little amounts of money up to $1.25, just to be able to feed that children. so i said women, all you know,

bearing the brunt of this conflict. i'm just looking at this headline over 90 percent of people in war t. great need food, a you as well, food program is hunger levels are increasing the normal if your, your region as a pills for 203 a 1000000 to skate up the response. all right, so there are multiple multiple problems going on as, as always happens when there's a complex situation. let me go to youtube. i'm going to put this to you. mother, daughter, it says new chip, tens of thousands of prisoners were released from take re prisons. it looks complicated to me. who is kidding and raping is difficult to answer. is it? it really is not really isn't all it takes is to listen to the survivors to listen to the victims. and typically the woman to guy know who is doing what to them and make more than 100 times. they have told us that it's been through the militia and also soldiers from base have been national army,

are the ones who re things invited their body and telling them that they're doing it in order to cleanse their blood. in order to make sure that the exam will once never get bert so it's not really to fix all it takes us to listen to the survivors . and in order for us to come to light, there needs to be an independent investigation made by the you and you ought to be so that they national community could really see what the people, particularly the woman had been going through for the last over 200 days, so i think genocide or, and help. well those are those, you know, people that are in place in the pain accountable. so one of the things that we were asking for this program is not just relate these horrific stories, but asking who is to be held accountable, who is going to help the civilians of t guy who need outside help is not getting it from within e c. o, p a, let me off that and put that to you say, now, where do you think the help should come from family. that's interesting. and i see

that you end up doing inventory investigation when they took any my by commission per se, for my recommission in 6, jamie, by then i'll give you one example in 20 to 20. when daughter was killed, murdered, and within 24 hours over a 100 people died. it took him to man commission, took about 6 months to come up with the report. last birthday, you know, have conducted a visit about 21 prison in the phone pretty. got women, children ages 5 to 10 years old. they found women in each of these prison in the seen a lot of violence and torture. and all of this, like i said that i mean it's obvious, was committed for the you and for the us even to take in fishing for the commission to be part of the investigation. when they have covered up by the show of my car drive, the way i thought it would come about because we came on person, the week came up, been 20, i'm building. it's a little bit different. so we should be read accountable. who should do this?

investigating this is because i forgot and i forgot the problem for some problem to joke because the pitch with this is the administration. she purposely talk to the soldiers, have son in military, into, to drive into oral me off to come in this out along with their chan, $410.00 soldiers. i love life. we are this talk to the department about this issue . we know they are in bali. we know the angles in different parts of the country, along with militia. so to, to even ask, who should investigate? i mean, it's like, i don't listen to the them. it's not complicated. it's straightforward. i'm pretty sure the victim can speak for themselves to even in quality and government us to investigate things just in justified by. so this is a un factory general spokesperson. this is what he has to say. come off the back of of his statement as have a listen. serious violations of international humanitarian human rights law must be

promptly investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice. we, along with our partners, are ready to engage with military commanders to ensure protecting civilians. i want to sign started a previous question, where should the health car come from and what? who needs to be held accountable to help should come from the international community, particularly from the un security council? because it's the security council that can impose strong tentative measures on both basis and government and their try and government. so that old agenda said that work could stop. but at the same thing, the suffering and the pain of women could at least get a glimpse of justice and need to be held accountable. are the people that are continuing to inflict, in, i imagine of the level of suffering from the people, including the women. this are forces from the region. this are 4 sources from every chem and also formed a national army. but over all the number one enemy of the people of guy is the

pennsaid myself and said that enabled every transfer to improve the service to the country to incur interesting i into looked at it and kinda figured out before. so it's all based on needs to be held accountable basis and government primarily, but also only if it's connie, but at the same time to help needs to be really clear. so this is a thought from dell not to put this on youtube for this conversation. can we reasonably expect the un and also the human rights council to investigate these kinds to be transparent and independent? can be reasonably expect that say no, you go fast. i mean, here's the thing. this is the way i see. you got a big bass and at this point non to ben gerber, monday to them. and i just mentioned to you, they sure can. i mean, since he came to power 3 years to go back over 5000 or more young men died and the rest of some of the u. s. government didn't prison their did or the joint unstable

because they must whole that you know, to, to me what they need to be looked at it from a bigger angle. and that to make sure that if you can exclusively and without looking at it. so they do and kind of addressed this when you look at who we have you in is the best we got. i think they could, if there's anybody that could do that, i think that would be the would be the best international to meet the would be the 2nd and the whole. but that's been government is perpetuate. they have committed this, a model in the room was for 3 years before the got the work in a number, and nobody's speaking above that. and we must really speak about the rate, the woman to torture, the mass killing, the massive movement. also look up to this over the 1000 and broke up in late in the room. yeah. and nobody talking about that this woman being a young man, a point that be great in the room. yeah. bye bye. if you're been soldiers, i think you in the best and we right is more community in the,

the years you a load on her and really want to wake up in whatever left over the one thing you and doesn't just walk in 2 countries, right? they have to be invited, they can't just do an investigation. is it isn't, isn't that the biggest challenge and what we told several months ago that the conflict in the t gray region was over. but at the time that we are never elected, i mean he's never, it never came to the power strike. he's a po box or more use or will it was who are in prison or dead reading a bullshit with a dictator. i don't even know what to call, i mean, really, to just my meter, the you enter, negotiate with me, mind boggling. so, but i and then i have one point that you were a big fan of prime minister on it. will you not?

you know, why admitted india because you know, for 20 years we participate in data for change for 20 years. last our life behind just like now working days now to make a noise. in 3 years ago i came to here, i met him several times, probably didn't. he was a part of the region for 27 years. the refugee in america, my parents with my brother, my mother was killed by the previous government in today. he turned around to buy the hands that was but he committed what type of crime in the u. n. really. really need to push. how can we wait? i mean, what needs to happen into crash because into dr. tuition is brought. blinding. seen everybody because they are, they're seeing it, but in order to seem to be in a room and nobody talking about the as the only hold the legs, prisoners, and all of the business women, young children, read who should put out a statement, may 6, the bomb was roughly the default to 85 since they've been in prison july of last

year. so it's been painful. yes. we obviously because we got hired up the protesting for 27 years that we built men have fun things in the country into democracy. yeah. all right, so santa mazda medea the reason we did the show is because we wanted to ask, is a very practical question. we've seen the heretic allegations, the stories, the counts from the women who have been raped. how to stop a few peers weaponized sexual violence. that was the big overall question that we were trying to wrestle with. this is christina sara, with one answer. women and goes live, have been taken from them. some may drive from their physical psychological injuries or even worse from h i. v, and aids to grades losing its anchor. what is

a country without the women who sustain its communities? how do you bring a person that has died back to life? you help them back together again. you give them their power back to help security justice and resources to start afresh. the women and girls cannot depend on leaders who have instructed their soldiers to commit acts of sexual violence. the international community must step up and provide them with the desperate security and protection that they need and wound me for years to come. mars a lot, the people who are suggesting is the, this is the solution. these, the people who we need to come in and help with these atrocities that are happening to civilians have a look here on my laptop this to, to look into the a, you au boxes, a check for genocide, starvation re, door to door execution, looting,

destruction, home heritage sites burning crops ethnic cleansing. this is an opinion, but we're hearing lots of reports that fall into this kind of category. me at a tower lising here. what is the african union doing to play a role in protecting women and children? the african union is right, that right, how the african union is in this? yes and african you need for a purpose, extend that because the guy they have cited with the genocide region and you and have been seen multiple times just to find the right thing and the looting and the distraction of to guy. so the union at this point, the best thing they can do for the last figure, particularly for the women that are suffering from the woodson is the rape, is to refer the case to the i c. c or to the you and ask them international intervention. i understand or anything could be an issue, and that's point them earlier you were talking to how you and cannot just walk into the country and try stuff. jonah, say however,

what's happening was to the guy is not anytime a letter. this is not an issue where intern government organizations should talk about that because the whole purpose of an government region its own, so or anything by inviting a friend enemy to help in this mission to exterminate the guy. so the total over anything has been gone long time ago, but the u. a has a practical responsibility to take marginalized groups in and but none of the people that are tracing a genocide as they wanted genocide so that you and has all the mandate and moral obligations have been and ongoing genocide. so i'm just want to bring up a statement here. it comes from the united states government from the, from the white house, basically. and the statement came out of the very end of may and, and it's acknowledging what is going on in northern ethiopia, large scale human rights abuses taking place and take, including widespread sexual violence. and so it talks about a,

it's noted it seen it, but then what is the action center? i mean, the us really taking the leadership especially it took a long time on the list and the departments because the war broke out in the vendor . and this is good to stop, but the said that a disability issue, really and a long time ago when the opportunity to clear the work on people in bassett, for an military to have been. and i think what's missing from the conversation is the bigger one. i mentioned you find it overwhelming because i haven't started this violence again almost 3 years ago. international report in may of last year. what they did committed comes after count of the killer children aged 15 and the by the station have a wonderful job, but rather not time to walk them, you will see me in life talking about on running out of time. i, i know that feeling medea i want to bring the conversation back to you. we started

with you, i'm going to bring it back to you. because again, how do you stop weaponized saying sexual violence? how do you stop fat? well, we spoke at the beginning of the show about how to interface violence in humanitarian settings, worsley, underfunded, and so i would suggest, you know, the g service summit for example, provides, would provide an ideal opportunity for we need commitment to gender equality in humanitarian settings. listening to bodies like the g 7 dead, the quality advisory council is a possible way to include such perspectives. but these conversations have been happening for years about how to prevent a weapon of war and local women. organizations have the unique ability to be able to reach and empower women and girls in their communities every day. and investment across street level have a much greater impact. so without adequate funding to support the job. in addition, commitment made at the global level will make little no difference on the ground

funding and equally important. thank you so much. we're starting to conversation with you. we ended it was you might be a thank you seen a thank you, maza. thank you so much, you cheap and on twitter. appreciate your comments to be part of today's program. i will see you next time. that's what everybody. ah me. it's all familiar. innocent lives ended in an instant. then great anger and the debate around firearms. but the survivors and families of the fall in reality often changes forever. phone lines investigates the long lasting trauma inflicted on communities the aftermath. my shootings in america on al jazeera talk to al jazeera,

we owe me, we're attacking ringer, and now they're attacking everyone in me. on my, do you regret words like that? we listen. absolutely. nigeria with a woman present, it would be great. we meet with global makers and talk about the stories that matter on sera the news. news news

with me. ah. ah midnight political drama in israel opposition parties, ford collision that looks set to our prime minister benjamin netanyahu for the 1st time, a palestinian israeli policy joined the power sharing arrangement. the united our list will support the government from outside. ah, hello on money side, this is al jazeera ally from dough also coming up.
