The Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) discussed, on Thursday 13 October, the issue of sexual violence as a weapon of war, including in Ukraine.
MEPs were joined by Katarzyna Kozlowska, founder of Say Stop in Poland, Branka Antic-Stauber, who works with victim support organisations in Bosnia, and Willy Fautré, director of Human Rights Without Frontiers. All denounced the phenomenon of impunity, exacerbated in times of conflict.
