“The United Nations is fully committed to fight this scourge, particularly through the UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict, or “UN Action”, a network of 21 UN entities bringing together the collective experience and institutional capacity of the whole UN system. As Secretary-General Guterres said, “Let’s resolve to uphold the rights and meet the needs of all survivors, as we work to prevent and end these horrific crimes”. Together with the International Committee of the Red Cross, UN Geneva is proud to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict with the installation of Franziska Greber’s UPROOTED and APART exhibition in the Palais des Nations to help bring crimes of sexual violence in conflict out of the shadows.”

Sexual violence in conflict devastates communities & societies & is a violation of international law. Artist @FranziskaGreber's current U.S. Mission-supported art installations at the @ICRC museum & around Geneva explore gender equality & the rule of law. https://t.co/sc5GQMfuqgpic.twitter.com/YtiRMxvb4e

Today is Int Day for the elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. On this occasion I call for an end to sexual violence in the context of protests.
"UpRooted": two artworks by @GreberFranziska exposed in #Geneva as symbols of the call to eradicate sexual violence in conflict, and tributes to survivors.

HOME should be a place of safety and retreat, trust and tranquility. But war, terror and violence force people to leave their HOME or it transfers to a place of fear, pain and horror. Many women and children and other vulnerable groups are humiliated, controlled and disempowered and devalued even in peaceful times. If HOME is out of balance, they are existentially threatened, especially if they choose the path to freedom. In times of particular strain, these existing processes are magnified and multiplied. Not only does the contempt for women dramatically increase, but also racism and homophobia.
