Let us remember: what hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor
but the silence of the bystander.

As never before, women are forced to bear the burden of war.
Today, 80% of all those injured or killed in war are civilians.
Of those, 75% are women and children. Women are targeted for
rape and violence as a tool of war. They are forced from their homes,
lose husbands and children, and often become the sole providers for their families.
They are left alone and friendless, with the responsibility for rebuilding their lives after
unspeakable trauma.
