Women and child rights activists are asserting that sexual violence in conflict or genocide, such as in the situation in Palestine, should be treated as a war crime rather than merely an unfortunate byproduct of war. These activists are calling for international recognition and legal action to address these severe offences within the context of armed conflict, emphasizing the need for accountability and protection for victims. For more insights into the activists’ stance and the broader implications of their demands, see the report by Antonio Dey.
