Israeli and international activists are calling on the UN to formally recognize the findings of the "Silenced No More" report documenting sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7, and to reject perceived double standards in how such crimes are treated. The report was prepared with cooperation from leading international law and human rights experts, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The campaign, reported by The Jerusalem Post, centers on the "Silenced No More" report, which documents sexual violence attributed to Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel. The report was compiled with input from experts in international law and human rights. Activists argue the UN has not adequately addressed the report's findings, in contrast to its response to other allegations of sexual violence. The call comes amid ongoing controversy: As The Zioneer previously reported, a UN report in June stated it could not verify reports of sexual violence against Israeli hostages, drawing criticism. Separately, the Palestinian Authority has promoted its own video accusing Israel of systematic sexual violence, also citing a UN report.
