"During the recent events in North Africa, the ruling regimes in Libya and Egypt used sexual assault as a weapon for intimidating and persecuting women who took part in the uprisings there. It is vital, firstly, that the perpetrators of these acts are tried for their crimes and, secondly, that the women who suffered such atrocities are protected from any reprisals. I myself have been to the Kivu region in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where this heinous practice is regularly used by soldiers and members of armed groups. I can testify to the extreme suffering of the women rape victims and to the impunity of the perpetrators of these atrocities. The international community must do everything it takes to ensure that the perpetrators of these crimes do not go unpunished."@en1
