Topics will include the old concept of "comfort women," where women are forced to entertain soldiers against their will; and incidences where, as a sign of victory, the victors indiscriminately rape women from the defeated communities. The event will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, where people can attend in person, and it also be available online (register here) at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. It is offered as part of the "16 Days Against Gender-Based Violence" campaign, which ends on Dec. 10, Human Rights Day. Read the entire article here. Manage your email settings or unsubscribe.
