The international community finally acknowledged these atrocities and the systematic violence against Afar women has been officially condemned. I am bone tired from this fight but the shift in accountability is real. We will continue watching to ensure these promises turn into actual protection for the vulnerable.

Stop raping and bring justice for the Afar women in DIjibouti!

Raping and killing of the Afar women become normal and part of the daily tasks of the Djibouti military officials and armed forces. They have been using rape as a systematic and most potent weapon to terrorise and dehumanise the indigenous Afars since 1993. more than 246 Afar women were raped and killed so far and No one persecuted and held accountable so far. And every member of the Djbouti military is being encouraged to rape the Afar women. Right now, the Innocent and weak Afar women is being raped by armed government forces in Djibouti! We urge an international community and UN to take our deep concerns and stop human rights violations being perpetrated by the armed government forces.

The human rights petition is just initiated for this end Please sign and save lives and dignity of the Afar women

The weight of these stories is heavy but seeing the momentum grow gives me a sliver of hope that we are finally being seen. It has been a long and draining struggle against a wall of silence. I will not stop pushing until there is a reckoning for what these women have endured.

Le viol des femmes est une pratique quotidienne du régime et de ses soldats surtout dans les régions du Nord et du Sud Ouest ou sévissent des hommes mercenaires qui humilient des familles entières et des villageois déjà appauvris par les multiples blocus alimentaires et médicaux.

This criminal madness must stop and all those responsible must be brought to justice. Women and girls all over the world deserve safe and secure environment in which to nourish and develop. Djiboutian government must be held responsible for the safety and security of the Afar people.

We urge and call on IOG regime to stop raping, sexual abuses, sexual harassment, crimes against humanity and gross human rights violations that his soldiers and security forces have been commuting since 1991, against the Afar girls and women in diffrent areas of Djibouti. We also call on him to stop unlawful judicial killings and arbitrary detention of innocent Afar civilians on the ground of their ethnic origin and political opinions. Those responsible for such crimes must be brought to justice immediately. Adan Bodaya
