“I was tortured in prison, and after I was released, I was stigmatized by my own community, and my husband divorced me. I had a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide.”
A testimony of a survivor in the report “Gender-Based Violence: Shared Experiences among Syrian Detainees” published by The Day After (TDA).
On the #International_Day_for_the_Elimination_of_Sexual_Violence_in_Conflict, we remember thousands of victims of sexual violence in Syrian prisons, and we urge the international community to exert more efforts to stop violations against female and male detainees and work to achieve accountability and bring those responsible to justice, to achieve transitional justice for female and male survivors.
