On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
"More than 400 days have passed since Hamas abducted hundreds of civilians from Israel, including women and children. These hostages, who have been denied access by the Red Cross and any other form of contact, endure unimaginable suffering in the Gaza Strip. Disturbing reports indicate that some hostages are subjected to sexual violence, including rape and sexual torture."
