Rape As A Weapon (EDM612)

Rape As A Weapon

EDM number 612 in 2008-09, proposed by Lorely Burt on 28/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Human rights.

That this House condemns the use of rape as a weapon; notes the rape capital of the world is the eastern Congo where in some areas three-quarters of women have been raped; further notes that in Darfur, raped women are scarred or branded, or occasionally have their ears cut off and that this is often done by police officers or soldiers, in uniform, as part of a co-ordinated government policy; and calls on the Government to condemn violence against women, to work to highlight this abhorrent use of force in conflicts around the world and do everything that it can to prevent the systematic use of rape as a weapon.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
