Time to eliminate scourge of conflict-related sexual violence: UN chief

United Nations, June 20 (UNI) The effects of conflict-related sexual violence echo across generations, in the form of trauma, stigma, and unwanted pregnancy, has said the UN chief, describing the scourge as “a threat to our collective security” and “a stain on our common humanity.”
That was the central message from Secretary-General António Guterres to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict on Tuesday.
“Children conceived through wartime rape often struggle with issues of identity and belonging for decades after the guns have fallen silent,” explained Mr Guterres.
