💨 Abstract
The article reports on the sexual assaults and violence faced by women and children in Mali's decade-long conflict, particularly involving Russia's Africa Corps and other armed groups. A 14-year-old girl was raped by Africa Corps fighters, leading to severe health complications. The article highlights the underreporting of such crimes due to cultural stigma and fear of retaliation. Other women shared similar experiences, emphasizing the pervasive nature of sexual violence. The lack of medical and psychological support exacerbates the victims' suffering.
