Justice for Tigray’s Women

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

It happens too often: women survive atrocities but suffer silently, invisibly. No one hears about it, and no one can offer even the prospect of justice.

We can help change that by standing with the 120,000 women in Tigray, Ethiopia who were raped and tortured by soldiers.

In part, we can bear witness – even though it’s hard – and know this for what it is: a systematic campaign to end Tigrayan births. In a new bombshell report, experts even say it could be genocide.

But we can also help bring justice. In 2022, the UN and the African Union froze their investigations because the Ethiopian government promised it would do the work.

It hasn’t.

So now survivors are demanding that the international community restart independent investigations.

If we build a massive wave of global publicity and push for meetings directly with survivors we can pressure UN and AU officials to stop stalling and start investigating. It’s worked for us before, now let’s step up again!
