In this powerful and deeply moving episode, we confront one of humanity’s darkest realities: the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.

From Bosnia to the Congo, from Iraq to Colombia, women’s bodies have been turned into battlegrounds — sites of domination, humiliation, and destruction. Through history and across continents, this episode exposes the systematic use of rape and sexual slavery as strategies of control and terror.

Drawing on international reports and legal frameworks, we explore how these crimes are not isolated acts but deliberate tactics of war — designed to fracture communities, silence victims, and erase identities.

We trace this violence from the “comfort women” of World War II to the conflicts in Tigray, Syria, and D.R.C today, showing how impunity continues to protect perpetrators while survivors fight for justice.

This episode is not here to evoke pity — it is here to testify.
Because as long as silence protects the guilty, war will continue to be waged on women’s bodies.

🔊 Listen, learn, and share.
Breaking the silence is the first act of justice.

NB : The UNICEF statistic cited in the episode concerns sexual violence suffered by women and girls around the world, in general, and not specifically in the context of war.
