The reprehensible silence by elected leaders, women's organizations, celebrities, and other prominent public figures who once backed #BringBackOurGirls, #MeToo, and the Women's March is deafening.
In the wake of the horrific genocidal attacks on Israeli women and girls by Hamas on October 7, 2023—which included premeditated murder, mass rape, and violent sexual assault, and the deliberate use of real-time documentation and broadcasting of these crimes as psychological warfare—women's human rights have been grotesquely neglected.
Rape is not a just weapon of war. It's a war crime.
No matter what you think of the larger geopolitical implications of what's happening in the Middle East, we should all be able to agree that the horrifying sexual assaults on women and girls are simply unacceptable and that there must be consequences for this grotesque violation of human rights.
