Angelina Jolie has revealed her frustration over the lack of progress made in tackling sexual violence in conflict zones over the last decade.
“The goal has to be to try to create a deterrent, by holding perpetrators to account, whoever they are,” she said.
“The people who carry out these abuses feel untouchable. Not enough has been done by the international community to attach a significant cost to these crimes. As a result, each time there is a new conflict, civilians pay the price.” The government has announced £12.5 million in funding over three years, aimed at tackling sexual violence in conflict and supporting survivors, focusing onUkraine war: horrifying reports suggest Russian soldiers are raping Ukrainian women in occupied territory
“So today, we stand in solidarity to support survivors and to bring justice. But also to send an unequivocal message to those who order, allow or perpetrate sexual violence: we will not tolerate it and we will push for perpetrators to be prosecuted.”
