UN mission documents 376 cases of war-related sexual violence in Ukraine

The agency reports.

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine is working closely with survivors to document cases of sexual violence related to the full-scale Russian invasion.

Between 24 February 2022 and 31 August 2024, the Mission documented 376 cases of CRSV involving 262 men, 104 women, 10 girls, and 2 boys.

"This form of gender-based violence affects people of all genders, with the majority of documented cases involving men - mostly those who were tortured in captivity in the occupied territory or in the Russian Federation," the report says.

• Law enforcement officers in the Kharkiv region received a report of a rape allegedly committed by French soldiers. This is a new Russian fake.
