Le rapport de la commission d’enquête indépendante de l’ONU conclut que « des formes spécifiques de violence sexuelle et sexiste font partie des procédures opérationnelles de l’armée israélienne ». Autrement dit : Israël utilise systématiquement le viol comme arme de guerre. Et comme cela a déjà documenté par le passé, l’armée israélienne fait cela régulièrement devant d’autres membres de la même famille.

SGBV [Sexual and gender-based violence]
65. The Commission documented many incidents in which ISF systematically targeted and subjected Palestinians to SGBV online and in person since October 7, including through forced public nudity, forced public stripping, sexualized torture and abuse, and sexual humiliation and harassment. These incidents took place during ground operations in conjunction with evacuations and arrests. Based on testimonies and verified video footage and photographs, the Commission finds that sexual violence has been perpetrated throughout the OPT during evacuation processes, prior to or during arrest, at civilian homes and at a shelter for women and girls. Sexual acts were carried out by force, including under threats, intimidation and other forms of duress, in inherently coercive circumstances due to the armed conflict and the presence of armed Israeli soldiers.
66. The ISF forced public stripping and nudity in many locations, in humiliating circumstances, including when victims were; blindfolded, kneeling and/or with their hands tied behind their back while in underwear; interrogated or subjected to verbal or physical abuse while fully or partially undressed; coerced to do physical movements while naked; and filmed or photographed by ISF doing any of these acts and disseminating the film and photographs. Palestinians were also made to watch members of their family and community strip in public and walk completely or partially undressed while subjected to sexual harassment.
67. Both male and female victims were subjected to such sexual violence, but men and boys were targeted in particular ways. Only males were repeatedly filmed and photographed by soldiers while subjected to forced public stripping and nudity, sexual torture and inhumane or cruel treatment. Palestinian women were also targeted and subjected to psychological violence and sexual harassment online, including shaming and doxing female detainees and drawing gendered and sexualized graffiti, including at a women’s shelter in Gaza that was directly targeted. Israeli soldiers also filmed themselves ransacking homes, including drawers filled with lingerie, to mock and humiliate Palestinian women, referring to Arab women as ‘sluts’. The Commission concludes, based on the circumstances and context of these acts, that GBV directed at Palestinian women was intended to humiliate and degrade the Palestinian population as a whole.
68. The Commission notes the existence of aggravating factors in the commission of these gender-based crimes. First, the specific social and normative context in which these acts have been committed includes strong cultural and religious sensitivities linked to privacy, nudity and the significance of the veil, where stigma and social exclusion can have deep repercussions at the individual and community level for the victim, particularly for women and girls. Second, humiliating digital content disseminated online, reaching a global audience, is extremely difficult to remove from the internet.
69. Based on the way in which such acts were committed, including with filming, photographing and posting material online, in conjunction with the many cases with similar methods observed in multiple locations, the Commission concludes that forced public stripping and nudity and other types of abuse by Israeli military personnel were either ordered or condoned. These acts were intended to humiliate and degrade the victims and the Palestinian community at large, by perpetuating gender stereotypes that create a sense of shame, subordination, emasculation and inferiority. It is evident that such violence is both a part of and has been enabled by the broader targeting and ill-treatment of Palestinians.
[…]
81. The Commission found that the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare; murder or wilful killing; intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects; forcible transfer; sexual violence; outrages upon personal dignity; and SGBV amounting to torture or inhuman and cruel treatment were committed.
[…]
103. The frequency, prevalence and severity of sexual and gender-based crimes perpetrated against Palestinians since 7 October across the OPT indicate that specific forms of SGBV are part of ISF operating procedures. Palestinian men and boys experienced specific persecutory acts intended to punish them in retaliation for the crimes committed on 7 October. The way in which these acts were committed, including their filming and photographing, in conjunction with similar cases documented in several locations, leads the Commission to conclude that forced public stripping and nudity and other related types of abuse were either ordered or condoned by Israeli authorities.
104. SGBV constitutes a major element in the ill-treatment of Palestinians, intended to humiliate the community at large. This violence is intrinsically linked to the wider context of inequality and prolonged occupation, which have provided the conditions and the rationale for gender-based crimes, to further accentuate the subordination of the occupied people. The Commission notes that these crimes must be addressed by tackling their root cause; through dismantling the historically oppressive structures and institutionalized system of discrimination against Palestinians, which are at the core of the occupation.

Sexual violence used as weapon of war in Ethiopia’s Tigray, Amnesty finds
Ethiopian and Eritrean troops have raped hundreds of women and girls during the Tigray war, subjecting some to sexual slavery and mutilation, Amnesty International said in a report Wednesday.
Drawing from interviews with 63 survivors, the report sheds new light on a scourge already being investigated by Ethiopian law enforcement officials, with at least three soldiers convicted and 25 others charged.
Some survivors said they had been gang-raped while held captive for weeks on end. Others described being raped in front of their family members.
And some reported having objects including nails and gravel inserted into their vaginas, “causing lasting and possibly irreparable damage”, Amnesty said.
“It’s clear that rape and sexual violence have been used as a weapon of war to inflict lasting physical and psychological damage on women and girls in Tigray,” said Amnesty’s secretary general Agnes Callamard.
“Hundreds have been subjected to brutal treatment aimed at degrading and dehumanizing them.
“The severity and scale of the sexual crimes committed are particularly shocking, amounting to war crimes and possible crimes against humanity.”
‘All of us were raped’
Northern Ethiopia has been wracked by violence since November after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize winner, sent troops into Tigray to topple its regional ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
He said the move came in response to TPLF attacks on federal army camps.
As the conflict has deepened, the humanitarian toll has spiked, with aid workers struggling to reach cut-off populations and 400,000 people facing famine-like conditions in Tigray, according to the UN.
Alleged perpetrators of rape include government soldiers, troops from neighbouring Eritrea – which has backed up Abiy – as well as security forces and militia fighters from Ethiopia’s Amhara region, Amnesty said.
More than two dozen survivors told Amnesty they were raped by Eritreans alone, while others said Eritreans and Ethiopians had worked together.
“They raped us and starved us. There were too many who raped us in rounds,” said one 21-year-old survivor who reported being held for 40 days.
“We were around 30 women they took.... All of us were raped.”
Investigations ongoing
AFP has previously interviewed multiple survivors of gang rape perpetrated by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers.
Amnesty said Wednesday that health facilities in Tigray had “registered 1,288 cases of gender-based violence from February to April 2021”, though doctors note that many survivors do not come forward.
In February Ethiopia’s women’s minister Filsan Abdullahi Ahmed said rape had “without a doubt” taken place in Tigray. A task force she established has since sent a report to the attorney general’s office.
On Tuesday, Filsan told AFP it was up to law enforcement officials to determine the scale of the problem and who was responsible.
“I think they are doing their best... They have to go and really study thoroughly before they identify who committed the crimes.”
But she added: “I would prefer them moving at a faster pace so I can say justice has been served, and I hope we will see justice being served.”
In May, the attorney general’s office said three soldiers had been convicted and sentenced for rape and that an additional 25 had been charged with “committing acts of sexual violence and rape”.
Investigations were continuing, it said.

Ethiopia: Troops and militia rape, abduct women and girls in Tigray conflict – new report
- Forces aligned to the Ethiopian government subjected hundreds of women and girls to sexual violence
- Rape and sexual slavery constitute war crimes, and may amount to crimes against humanity
Women and girls in Tigray were targeted for rape and other sexual violence by fighting forces aligned to the Ethiopian government, Amnesty International said today in a new report into the ongoing Tigray conflict.
The report, ‘I Don’t Know If They Realized I Was A Person’: Rape and Other Sexual Violence in the Conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia, reveals how women and girls were subjected to sexual violence by members of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), the Eritrean Defense Force (EDF), the Amhara Regional Police Special Force (ASF), and Fano, an Amhara militia group.
Soldiers and militias subjected Tigrayan women and girls to rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, sexual mutilation and other forms of torture, often using ethnic slurs and death threats.
“It’s clear that rape and sexual violence have been used as a weapon of war to inflict lasting physical and psychological damage on women and girls in Tigray. Hundreds have been subjected to brutal treatment aimed at degrading and dehumanizing them,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
“The severity and scale of the sexual crimes committed are particularly shocking, amounting to war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. It makes a mockery of the central tenets of humanity. It must stop.
“The Ethiopian government must take immediate action to stop members of the security forces and allied militia from committing sexual violence, and the African Union should spare no effort to ensure the conflict is tabled at the AU Peace and Security Council.”
The Ethiopian authorities should also grant access to the African Commission for Human and Peoples’ Rights Commission of Inquiry, and the UN Secretary General should urgently send his Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict to Tigray.
Amnesty International interviewed 63 survivors of sexual violence, as well as medical professionals. Twenty-eight survivors identified Eritrean forces as the sole perpetrators of rape.
Widespread sexual violence
The pattern of acts of sexual violence, with many survivors also witnessing rape of other women, indicates that sexual violence was widespread and intended to terrorize and humiliate the victims and their ethnic group.
Twelve survivors said soldiers and militia raped them in front of family members, including children. Five were pregnant at the time.
Letay*, a 20-year-old woman from Baaker, told Amnesty International she was attacked in her home in November 2020 by armed men who spoke Amharic and wore a mixture of military uniforms and civilian clothing.
She said: “Three men came into the room where I was. It was evening and already dark… I did not scream; they gestured to me not to make any noise or they would kill me. They raped me one after the other… I was four months pregnant; I don’t know if they realized I was pregnant. I don’t know if they realized I was a person.”
Nigist*, a 35-year-old mother-of-two from Humera said she and four other women were raped by Eritrean soldiers in Sheraro on 21 November 2020.
She said: “Three of them raped me in front of my child. There was an eight-months pregnant lady with us, they raped her too… They gathered like a hyena that saw something to eat… They raped the women and slaughtered the men.”
Health facilities in Tigray registered 1,288 cases of gender-based violence from February to April 2021. Adigrat Hospital recorded 376 cases of rape from the beginning of the conflict to 9 June 2021. However, many survivors told Amnesty International they had not visited health facilities, suggesting these figures represent only a small fraction of rapes in the context of the conflict.
Survivors still suffer significant physical and mental health complications. Many complained of physical trauma such as continued bleeding, back pain, immobility and fistula. Some tested positive for HIV after being raped. Sleep deprivation, anxiety and emotional distress are common among survivors and family members who witnessed the violence.
Sexual slavery and intention to humiliate
Twelve survivors said they were held captive for days and often weeks, and repeatedly raped, in most cases by several men. Some were held in military camps, others in houses or grounds in rural areas.
Tseday*, 17, told Amnesty International that she was abducted by eight Eritrean soldiers in Zebangedena and held captive for two weeks. She said: “They took me to a rural area, in a field. There were many soldiers; I was raped by eight of them… Usually, they went out to guard the area in two shifts. When four of them went out, the rest stayed and raped me.”
Blen*, a 21-year-old from Bademe, said she was abducted by Eritrean and Ethiopian soldiers on 5 November 2020, and held for 40 days alongside an estimated 30 other women. She said: “They raped us and starved us. They were too many who raped us in rounds. We were around 30 women they took... All of us were raped.”
Eight women also told how they had been raped by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers and associated militia near the border with Sudan, as they sought shelter.
Two survivors had large nails, gravel, and other types of metal and plastic shrapnel inserted into their vaginas, causing lasting and possibly irreparable damage.
Soldiers and militia repeatedly sought to humiliate their victims, frequently using ethnic slurs, insults, threats, and degrading comments. Several survivors interviewed by Amnesty International said that the rapists had told them, “This is what you deserve” and “You are disgusting”.
Lack of support for survivors
Survivors and witnesses told Amnesty International that they received limited or no psychosocial and medical support since they arrived in the internally displaced persons camps in the town of Shire in Ethiopia, or in refugee camps in Sudan.
Survivors also suffered because medical facilities were destroyed and restrictions imposed on the movement of people and goods, which hindered access to medical care. Victims and their families said they are short of food, shelter and clothes due to the limited humanitarian aid.
Reports of sexual violence were mostly hidden from the outside world during the first two months of the conflict that began in November 2020, largely because of access restrictions imposed by the Ethiopian government and the communications blackout.
“On top of their suffering and trauma, survivors have been left without adequate support. They must be able to access the services they need and are entitled to – including medical treatment, livelihood assistance, mental healthcare and psychosocial support – which are essential aspects of a survivor-centred response,” said Agnès Callamard.
“We must see all allegations of sexual violence effectively, independently and impartially investigated to ensure survivors receive justice, and an effective reparation program must be established. All parties to the conflict should also ensure unfettered humanitarian access.”

Unspeakable Crime: Rape as a Weapon of War in Libya
Activists collect evidence of systematic rape and torture in Libya, speaking to victims caught up in the state’s crisis.
“If you use a bomb it goes through the body. It kills and it leaves a mark. Any weapon does. But rape is an invisible weapon. It’s only uncovered if the victim speaks out,” says Imad Erg, a Libyan human rights activist.
He, along with other activists in exile working from Tunisia, aims to uncover crimes in Libya as conflict continues to tear apart their home country.
Following the Arab Spring in 2011 and the toppling of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi, Libya fell into chaos as rival factions struggled for control of the country and its oil reserves.
And in a war waged with guns and missiles, factions are also using a more silent weapon: systematic male and female rape.
Erg and his co-workers review online videos, speak to victims, and document their cases in the hope of prosecuting the offenders in the International Criminal Court.
One victim describes being handcuffed naked and left hanging off a door. Another describes dogs biting him, and watching prisoners being forced to rape each other. Other cases involve being sodomised with sticks and weapons.
“Now I have physical problems,” says a victim, known as Ali, who was held in prison for six years. “At times it goes away.”
Among those vulnerable are refugees and migrants from Africa and the Middle East passing through Libya on their way to Europe as well as the people of the town of Tawergha. They have been systematically discriminated against since the Battle of Misrata, an opposition city during the Libyan Revolution, for appearing (without conclusive proof) to have sided with government forces.
Khadija is from Tawergha and was raped by her own neighbour as well as other men who have conducted a shocking and indiscriminate vendetta against the primarily black residents of the town.
“These men tied me up and began to harass me. Five [men]. I couldn’t get away. They raped my twice. They tore my clothes off, saying ’You Tawerghans will pay for what you did in Misrata’,” says Khadija. “I said ’But we’ve been neighbours for 20 years’ ... It was horrible. I can’t talk about it. Everyone looked at me when I came out of the house. What did we ever do to them?”
Faced with painful memories and lasting injuries from their abuse, the men and women must also shoulder rape’s taboos.
“You can offer millions to a victim to testify in a court,” says another victim, Yassine. “He’ll say, ’No way. I can’t tell you what happened to me.’ He’ll say, ’I don’t want to be known.’ The victim is afraid of being exposed. His fear of being humiliated is constant. You become paranoid. You think everyone knows. That’s the worst part.”

Marie-Noëlle, Denise, Asyath, Odile, Lizana, Emina ou encore Augustine et d’autres, toutes femmes réfugiées en France, se retrouvent à l’association Femmes en Luth à Valence et se sont confiées sur les raisons qui les ont contraintes à quitter leurs pays, souvent pour leur survie, laissant parfois leurs proches et leurs biens derrière elles. Portant le poids d’une culpabilité qui ne les quittera pas, elles évoquent les violences subies, les tortures au travers de leurs témoignages, affichent leur courage et transmettent malgré tout un message de paix. Elles chantent, dansent, peignent et sourient ! Présent dans l’association, Vincent Djinda les a accompagnées durant une année.
En ce début de XXIe siècle, les voix féminines se font de mieux en mieux entendre. Démonstration avec les parcours de femmes de conviction : Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachelet, Inna Shevchenko. Une révolution tranquille est en marche. Petit à petit, le combat pour l’égalité des sexes progresse, dans les coulisses du pouvoir comme dans certains villages du tiers-monde. Aux quatre coins de la planète, à travers leurs trajectoires mêmes, des femmes contribuent à inspirer cette volonté de changement. Ce documentaire passe en revue leurs réussites et leurs combats : les militantes indiennes et nigériennes luttant pour leurs droits, mais aussi des personnalités telles que Christine Lagarde, Michelle Bachelet ou la Femen Inna Shevchenko. D’autres femmes engagées, comme Hillary Clinton, la théologienne Margot Käßmann (ex-évêque de Hanovre) et Melinda Gates, s’expriment dans ce film et donnent leur point de vue sur la condition féminine. Un documentaire qui montre comment, peu à peu, leurs comparses font tomber les barrières qui les empêchaient d’avancer.

Le viol est devenu, depuis une trentaine d’années, une arme de destruction massive en Bosnie, au Rwanda, au Congo et en Syrie. Alors que les femmes et les enfants en sont les premières cibles, dans la poudrière libyenne, ce crime de guerre érigé en système frappe d’abord les hommes. Exilés libyens à Tunis, Emad, un militant, et Ramadan, un procureur, tentent dans la clandestinité de recueillir les preuves d’une barbarie dont les victimes restent emmurées dans l’indicible. À force d’opiniâtreté, ces activistes, aidés par Céline Bardet, une juriste internationale, obtiennent les premiers récits circonstanciés d’une poignée d’hommes qui ont subi ces supplices. Anéantis, le fantomatique Yacine, Nazir ou encore Ahmed livrent des bribes effroyables de leur histoire et de leur intimité saccagée. La voix brisée, ils racontent les prisons clandestines, la violence, les humiliations et les tortures commises par les milices armées dans un pays plongé dans le chaos depuis la chute de Kadhafi. Dans ce cycle sans fin d’horreur organisée, les migrants aussi sont utilisés. Détenu dans une dizaine de geôles, Ali, tout juste libéré, témoigne, lui, de la généralisation du viol qui vise systématiquement les Tawergha, une tribu noire ostracisée.
