The Palestinian Feminist Collective, in partnership with the Progressive International, launches a historic, 200-page report exposing the relationship between Israel’s sexualized violence and the systematic targeting of reproductive health and freedom.
The report shows that this violence is not incidental. It is a systemic and historical mechanism of settler-colonial rule.
In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 examines the systematic use by Israel of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territory since 7 October 2023, encompassing custodial and non-custodial practices that meet the threshold for genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. She documents how torture has become integral to the domination of and punishment inflicted on men, women and children, both through custodial abuse and through a relentless campaign of forced displacement, mass killings, deprivation and the destruction of all means of life to inflict long-term collective pain and suffering.
