The Commission of Inquiry on Tigray Genocide (CITG) released a comprehensive report on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) across Tigray. The report has revealed alarming levels of violence committed against women and girls during the war that began in November 2020. The findings confirm that SGBV was widespread and systematic, constituting serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, under certain circumstances, which amount to international crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The assessment, conducted across six zones and all accessible woredas/districts of Tigray between July and August 2022, with additional self-reported data collected in December 2023, provides one of the most comprehensive accounts of the nature, magnitude, and enduring consequences of wartime sexual violence in the region. The study underscores the urgent need for justice, accountability, and survivor-centered rehabilitation. It calls for coordinated national and international action to address the trauma endured by survivors and to ensure perpetrators of these crimes are held accountable.
