GENEVA: The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls, Reem Al-Salem, expressed her concern about the increasing cases of rape committed by Israeli soldiers against Palestinian women in Gaza. Al-Salem explained in a post she made on X that "it is abhorrent that such reports of sexual violence continue unabated - not to mention that this is but one of multiple forms of violence that Palestinian women are subjected to on the basis of being Palestinian and being women." "Rape and other forms of sexual violence can constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity or a constitutive act with respect to genocide! It must stop," she added. The UN Rapporteur called for an immediate halt to cases of violence against Palestinian women. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
