Nadia Murad Calls for a Plan to Prevent Sexual Violence in Conflict

At the “Women in Conflicts” discussion hosted by the European Council and Mukwege Foundation, Nadia Murad called for a codified plan to prevent sexual violence in conflict before it occurs.

Her advice: “To sustainably protect women’s rights in conflict, we have to look beyond war and rethink peace-building and development as well. Waging war is simple compared to reconciliation, reconstruction, and prevention. If we want communities to recover from and prevent conflict, we should invest in women.”
