In an unexpected twist, the United Nations has announced that their special representative of the Secretary General on sexual violence and conflict, Pramila Patten, will be heading to the tumultuous region of Israel and the West Bank at the end of this month. Patten's mission: to gather vital information on reports of sex crimes against both female and male victims in Israel.
This bold move comes in the midst of the Israel-Hamas war, a conflict that has shaken the region and captured the attention of the global community. With tensions running high, Patten's arrival seeks to shed light on the harrowing experiences faced by survivors and witnesses of the October 7 attacks orchestrated by Hamas.
