7th March - Lucy Kassa explains how she was forced to leave Ethiopia and go into exile for exposing the sexual violence against #Tigrayan women in the U.K. Parliament.‘We don’t want Tigrayan women to give birth’ a Tigrayan woman was told after she was brutally raped. As Lucy Kassa reports, troops were told to kill the men and rape the women. During “Beyond Surviving” – an event held at Westminster – Members of the Commons and the Lords heard disturbing accounts of the horrific use of extreme sexual violence against women and girls in Tigray by Eritrean and Ethiopian soldiers. Shocking and disturbing accounts were shared of gang rape by groups of soldiers; of rapes of girls as young as eight years of age; the mutilation of women’s genitals – in order to prevent them from ever giving birth to Tigrayan children.Video by Tigray Youth Network (TYN) 🔗https://www.davidalton.net/2022/03/07/international-womens-day-commemorated-in-parliament-with-an-event-focusing-on-the-use-of-extreme-sexual-violence-against-the-women-of-tigray-beyond-surviving-call-to-reform-the-un-security-cou/🔗https://eritreahub.org/british-parliament-marks-international-womens-day-highlighting-extreme-sexual-violence-inflicted-during-the-tigray-war#InternationalWomensDay2022#Justice4TigraysWomenAndGirls #TigrayRapeVictims #NoMore #TigrayGenocide#KnowMore #CallitAGenocide#EndTigraySiege#StopTigrayFamine#TigrayFamine#TigrayCantWait#ReconnectTigray#AllowAccessToTigray#TigrayMassArrests #EritreaOutOfTigray#StopWarOnTigray#HumanRights #UNSCActNow#AbiyMustGo #StopAbiy#iStandWithTigray #Amhara#Tigray #Tigrai #Ethiopia#Eritrean #Eritrea #Isaias | Tigray Update
