UN Documents Over 1000 Cases of Sexual Violence in Ukraine War
The United Nations has documented over 1000 cases of sexual violence in the context of the war in Ukraine, with 89% attributed to the Russian side. Most victims are men, particularly prisoners of war and civilians held in detention. The UN report details gang rape, rape, genital mutilation, forced nudity, and threats of violence among the types of sexual violence used. The report also notes that the actual number of cases may be significantly higher due to limited access to Russian-occupied territories and underreporting.17 sourcesSee all sources
