Silence Is Not Peace: Confronting Conflict-Related Sexual Violence

​Sexual violence is not a by-product of war. It is used as a weapon. From Africa to the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia, it is used to terrorise and destroy communities, and too often it goes unpunished.

​To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the 16 Days of Activism, We are NOT Weapons of War organize a conference: “Silence Is Not Peace: Confronting Conflict-Related Sexual Violence” in Geneva.

​The panel will bring together:

​🔹 Céline Bardet, Founder of We are NOT Weapons of War
🔹 Maria Dmitrieva, Programme Director of Democracy Development Center
🔹 Shiran Mlamdovsky Somech, Founder of Generative AI for Good
🔹 Khaled Azzam, family member of a survivor of CRSV, European Druze Society
🔹 Ambassador Michel Veuthey, Ambassador for Monitoring and Combating Trafficking in Persons, Sovereign Order of Malta

​Join global experts to discuss survivor testimony, justice, and how Al and technology can help break the silence.
