TESTIMONIALS
The HÁWAR.help documentary gave us the opportunity to show the world that the UN stands in solidarity with every victim of ISIS crimes and every survivor of sexual violence.
Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict
Even 6 years after the beginning of the violence of the so-called “IS” against the Yazidi population in Iraq, it remains unimaginable what happened then and still has to shock and awaken us.
Dr. Gerd Müller, Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development
These crimes cannot remain unpunished. Nearly 3,000 Yazidi women are still reported missing. Far too often, women are the main victims of armed conflict. The fight against sexual violence is a focus of our work, as it is for HÁWAR.help.
Anne-Marie Descôtes, French Embassy Berlin
HÁWAR.help’s work provides us with important insights into ways the international community can ensure that perpetrators of sexual violence in conflicts are held accountable and that justice is delivered to survivors.
Rachel King, British Embassy Berlin
The genocide of the Yazidis by the “IS” still continues to have an effect. We {…} have a duty to ensure that these traumas are not passed down through generations.
