Systematic Sexual Violence in Hamas Attack on Israel

Global Human Rights Organizations Remain Silent Despite Graphic Evidence

Israeli police and Israel’s newly formed Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women believe sexual violence during the Oct. 7 Hamas attack was widespread, systematic and endorsed by the Islamic fundamentalist group’s religious and spiritual leaders.
Graphic evidence of the sexual violence has been compiled from various sources including Hamas footage, first responders, workers who handle corpses, and survivor accounts.
Most or all of Oct. 7 rape victims were either killed or abducted, and are thus not able to tell their stories to the world.
Worldwide organizations dedicated to women’s and human rights have stayed largely silent despite the circulation of the evidence.
A petition calling on UN Women to address the crimes against Israeli women is gaining momentum, with more than 180,000 signatures.
