To the UNSC, leaders of the EU, UK, the African Union, and governments worldwide:

We are world citizens, deeply worried about the lack of accountability and justice for 120,000 Ethiopian women in Tigray who were gruesomely abused.

We call on you to relaunch UN investigations; sanction and hold accountable perpetrators and accomplices; make available funding for vital healthcare, and for education to halt the hatred underlying this brutal violence.

Do what you can to ensure full implementation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement and lasting safety, freedom, and peace for all people in the region.

Justice for Tigray’s Women
A note, wrapped in plastic, forced inside Tseneat's womb – after she was gang-raped by six soldiers.

“We will make Tigrayan females infertile.”

She is one of tens of thousands of women in Ethiopia who are exposed to the most extreme forms of sexual violence. Soldiers wanted to make Tigrayan women sterile, to prevent their community from growing.

And while the world chooses to look away, she thinks often of ending her life.
But she also has one enduring desire: justice and accountability.

There is a way to get there. We can come together to shine a global spotlight on this forgotten issue; demand the UN reopen their investigation; and call on world leaders to sanction and hold accountable perpetrators and accomplices.
