A new study of medical records released Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 shows that at least 128 women and girls were sexually assaulted in Ethiopias northern Tigray region even after a peace agreement ended a two-year conflict there.
The study by Physicians for Human Rights and the Organization for Justice and Accountability in the Horn of Africa, along with a commentary in The Lancet medical journal, looked at more than 300 randomly selected medical records from Tigray health centers focused on helping survivors of sexual violence.
At least 128 sexual assaults occurred after the peace agreement was signed last November, according to the study, which looked at records from the start of the conflict in November 2020 through this June. “They took her to their camp and raped her for six months,” one medical record cited by the study says.
