#StopRapeInTigray Pt. 1

1. Why has the @UN allowed weaponized rape to go unchecked across Tigray? Sexual violence is still actively taking place in concentration camps in Humera. #16DaysofActivism2021 #TigrayMassArrests #16Days @unwomenchief @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia https://apnews.com/article/africa-180f41945ae512e8170ca05b0cc65540

2. Amhara Fano militia, as well as Ethiopian & Eritrean soldiers continue to invade areas of western Tigray, leaving the most vulnerable trying to escape rape, torture, detention, and death. This must stop! #16DaysofActivism2021 @StateDept @HouseForeign https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-waves-of-displacement-reported-in-western-tigray-un/ar-AAR5N8I

3. Tigrayans in western Tigray are still under attack by Amhara Fano militias. There are reports of rape and killings in concentration camps. The @UN has a responsibility to help end #TigrayMassArrests. #16DaysofActivism2021 @irishmissionun @NorwayUN @EstoniaUN @UNGeneva @UNOSAPG

4. The brutality of rape & sexual slavery has not come close to ending in western Tigray. Appointed leaders have failed to hold Ethiopian & Eritrean forces responsible and so it continues. #16DaysofActivism2021 #TigrayMassArrests @IntlCrimCourt @vonderleyen https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

5. “In Humera, the biggest town in western Tigray, security forces on Saturday placed Tigrayan civilians -mostly the elderly, women and children- on 21 buses headed east.” #16DaysofActivism2021 #16Days @vonderleyen @EUSR_Weber @DicarloRosemary @TimmermansEU https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-waves-of-displacement-reported-in-western-tigray-un/ar-AAR5N8I

6. Women are still subjected to gang rape & sexual slavery in concentration camps in western Tigray. Survivors are suffering in the dark as @UN & @_AfricanUnion fail to take meaningful action to stop #TigrayMassArrests. #16DaysofActivism2021 @unwomenchief https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/12/africa/tigray-ethiopia-sexual-violence-amnesty-report-intl/index.html

7. Sexual violence has been weaponized against Tigrayans and It’s still ongoing in western Tigray where girls and women including boys and men face gang rape and torture. All invading forces must withdraw. #16DaysofActivism2021 @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @USUN https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

8. Tigrayans have been ethnically cleansed & forcibly removed from their indigenous lands by Amhara forces. The #TigrayGenocide continues as Tigrayans are abducted, killed & raped. #16DaysofActivism2021 #TigrayMassArrests @ChrisCoons @SenThomTillis https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-waves-of-displacement-reported-in-western-tigray-un/ar-AAR5N8I

9. Why has the @UN allowed weaponized rape with impunity? For over a year, we have pleaded for the @UN to #StopRapeInTigray. Women in western Tigray are still under attack by invading forces. @MexOnu @UKUN_NewYork @franceonu @UNGeneva #16DaysofActivism2021 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-assault-on-health-care-in-tigray/ar-AANk3qb

10. There are new reports of sexual violence in concentration camps in western Tigray. Tigrayans are enduring weaponized rape. We need action to #StopRapeInTigray! #TigrayMassArrests #16DaysofActivism2021 @unicefchief @mbachelet @JuttaUrpilainen @endrapeinwar https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

#StopRapeInTigray Pt. 2

1. “In Humera, the biggest town in western Tigray, security forces on Saturday placed Tigrayan civilians — mostly the elderly, women and children — on 21 buses headed east..” #TigrayMassArrests #16DaysofActivism2021 @StateDept @USAmbUN @EU_Commission @hrw https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-waves-of-displacement-reported-in-western-tigray-un/ar-AAR5N8I

2. “The sexual assault made her infertile,” a doctor confirmed to @AJEnglish. The intentional targeting of women & children by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces are crimes against humanity. Where is the accountability? #16DaysofActivism2021 @unicefchief @UN_Women https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

3. Over a year into the #TigrayGenocide & Ethiopia has escalated #TigrayMassArrests. Concentration camps are filled with tens of thousands of innocent Tigrayans solely based on their ethnicity. Many tortured before being killed. @PhilipRBarton @LindaT_G https://www.businessinsider.com/ethiopia-ethnic-tigrayans-put-into-concentration-camps-reports-say-2021-9

4. The int’l community cannot continue to indulge Ethiopian in its campaign to round up & arrest Tigrayans based on their ethnicity. #TigrayMassArrests must end now! This is cruel & inhumane. #16DaysofActivism2021 @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @EU_Commission https://www.businessinsider.com/ethiopia-ethnic-tigrayans-put-into-concentration-camps-reports-say-2021-9

5. “Rape committed during war is often intended to terrorize the population, break up families, destroy communities, and change the ethnic makeup of the next generation.” @UN_Women where is justice for Tigrayans? #16Days #16DaysofActivism2021 @endrapeinwar https://www.un.org/sexualviolenceinconflict/about-us/un-action/

6. The inaction of the int’l community has emboldened Ethiopia’s genocidal regime. There are extremely distressing reports that Amhara militias are raping & executing Tigrayans held in concentration camps in Humera, western Tigray. #TigrayMassArrests #16DaysofActivism2021 @UN_Women

7. Tigrayans are being abducted & put into internment camps throughout Ethiopia. Tigrayans are held in camps w/o adequate food, water or sanitation facilities. Priests, nuns, @UN staff, children under age of 3 & elderly are not spared! @SecBlinken @JosepBorrellF #TigrayMassArrests

8. Tigrayans are held in concentration camps where torture, rape & killings are taking place. The phrase ‘never again’ loses meaning when you fail to take action, @SecBlinken. #16DaysofActivism2021 #TigrayMassArrests @JakeSullivan46 @RwandaRemembers @hrw https://www.salon.com/2021/09/25/eyewitness-accounts-video-confirm-reports-of-tigrayan-children-held-in-concentration-camp
