“Today, all my thoughts are with the survivors of sexual violence in fragile environments. The fight to end war rape can only be won by including them. Their voices must be heard.” The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg #StandSpeakRiseUp #EndRapeInWar #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs © CGD https://t.co/qUt3zPpkRv

@una_clifford , Strategy Advisory @EIB , mentioned a great example on how the StandSpeakRiseUp conference brought decision makers together and unified us around a common purpose: End rape as a weapon of war! © Stand Speak Rise Up / FreeLens TV #standspeakriseup #endrapeinwar https://t.co/f34AjrPRNN

We call on citizens of goodwill – who refuse to allow the bodies of women, children and men to be used as battlefields – to look into the hearts of survivors and open their own to action.
If we cannot end war, let us at least end rape as a weapon.
Show us your photos and videos standing up with survivors on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The time is now to recognise, acknowledge and support survivors of sexual violence in fragile environments.
