Thank you @SenBooker for making an effort to have voices from Tigray heard & for being clear with your requests to the @JoeBiden admin. Women are sadly also facing #WeaponizedRape in the region. @UNFPA @RepJeffries https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ethiopia-conflict-rape-idUSKBN29U0JE

1. There’s ample evidence to confirm cases of rampant rape + sexual violence occuring in Tigray at the hands of invading forces. On January 9, 2021 an Ethiopian General went on state TV saying rape was expected to occur in conditions of conflict. #WeaponizedRape @Asteiner @UN_Women

2. UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms Pramila Patten said that she was “greatly concerned by serious allegations including ‘a high number of alleged rapes in the Tigrayan capital Mekelle #WeaponizedRape is a war crime.@unwomenafrica @endrapeinwar @Atayeshe
