World Jewish Congress Commissioner on Gender Equality and Inclusion Marie van der Zyl OBE reiterates our emphatic call for the international community to condemn the heinous premeditated acts of sexual violence. Violence against women is a crime against individuals and an assault on the principles of equality, justice and dignity that underpin every aspect of our collective existence. World leaders must decry systematic sexual violence of October 7 and the use of rape as a tool of war wherever and whenever it occurs.
