As the Taskforce included a team from the Attorney General’s office, which are currently processing the data in terms of numbers, we await the investigation of these horrible crimes and hopefully see when the perpetrators are brought to justice. #Ethiopia 2/6
The Ethiopian government is not only committed, but rather champions the rule of law and does not tolerate any violence against women, especially one involving rape. #Ethiopia 3/6
We are assessing ways and means of strengthening the protection and prevention of gender-based violence against women in the #Tigray region. #Ethiopia 4/6
Further, we have set-up mental, psycho and social support teams in the Tigray region, to help treat physical and psychological scars, as well as other social issues resulting from violence, intimidation and displacement. #Ethiopia 5/6
We urge both our international and domestic partners and stakeholders to join us in providing essential services and resources to Tigray region, especially in terms of mental health and social assistance. #Ethiopia 6/6
