Russia uses sexual violence as a weapon: how Ukraine documents crimes

Today, November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is celebrated worldwide. It is an important day that focuses attention on the need to protect women's rights, their safety, equality, and dignity.

Ukraine actively participates in international efforts to combat all forms of gender-based violence. The country fulfills its obligations under international conventions and collaborates with various international organizations.

The full-scale aggression of Russia against Ukraine has intensified the issue of violence against women and girls. Ukraine actively documents these crimes and works with international mechanisms to stop them.

Protecting women from violence is an essential element of the global struggle for peace, justice, and adherence to international standards.
