TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Prevention of conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine and globally JO - Lancet A1 - Stark, Lindsay A1 - Seelinger, Kim Thuy A1 - Ibala, Reine-Marcella A1 - Tovpeko, Yana A1 - Mukwege, Denis SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022 has already resulted in the forced displacement of over 5·8 million people outside of Ukrainian borders and an additional 7·1 million internally. Women and children, who account for more than 90% of the displaced, are at risk of sexual violence, rape, and trafficking during displacement. Local and international organisations have documented reports of sexual violence perpetrated by Russian military forces. This mounting crisis suggests, not for the first time, that conflict-related sexual violence requires urgent action.
