Ethiopia: ‘No One Came To My Rescue’: Gang rape, sexual slavery, and mass displacement of women in Oromia, Ethiopia

The civilian population of the Oromia region of Ethiopia have been subjected to immense suffering since the eruption of non-international armed conflict in 2019. Violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law have been a recurring feature of the conflict, including Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) at the hands of armed actors. In this briefing, Amnesty International documents cases of sexual violence against women and girls in the Kellem Wallaga zone of Oromia and reiterates survivors’ demands for an end to violations of their rights and continued quest for justice.
