Violence against women harms us all. We care – so let’s make sure it’s eradicated. Violence against women is inherent in any conflict, and is often used as a tool of war. NATO takes this seriously, engaging on all levels of its operations to make sure women are protected. From planning and training stages to targeted exercises, NATO makes UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, a priority. To mark the International Day of Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November, NATO sheds light on true survivor stories. Footage includes people from NATO International Staff (IS), International Military Staff (IMS) and national delegations at NATO Headquarters reading out a true testimony from survivors of wartime sexual violence. This video leads to another in-depth explainer piece where different speakers across NATO civilian and military staff tell their experiences dealing with gender-based violence and what NATO does to counter it.
