The unspoken trauma of sexual crimes against Ukrainian men by the Russian army.

Sexual violence is being used by the Russians as a form of torture in nearly all detention centres, both in Russia and in occupied areas.

Over 68% of the victims are male, according to the United Nations. However, the voices of survivors are so rare that this phenomenon remains largely invisible.

#Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western #Media

Women are routinely sexually abused during home invasions by the Israeli military. They’re forced to disrobe – sometimes in front of their male relatives – and adopt humiliating poses for the soldiers to film them, Khraim said. During some #WestBank home invasions, the other advocate testified, Israeli soldiers touched Palestinian women sexually and threatened them with rape, all while their male relatives were handcuffed. The soldiers “make sexual noises and gestures, threaten to rape [the woman] even, doing this in front of [her male relatives] while they're being handcuffed or blindfolded, not able to stop it, not able to protect [their] daughter, sister, whatever it may be. It's a form to not only control the woman, but also control the men as well, and break up the family and, in turn, break up society as a whole.”

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects inside genitals” of the detained, Khraim testified. The female Israeli soldiers raped both men and women, photographing and often filming the assaults.

A man has confessed to fifteen rapes after drugging his victims. The 34-year-old suspect is a landscaper by profession and has no criminal record. According to the prosecutor in Montpellier, he "admitted to filming the events and acting under the influence of cocaine." In January, two women filed a complaint at a police station in Southern France, claiming they had been raped at home by their landscaper.

"The Trump regime is now stuffed with alleged rapists and sexual abusers. Besides Trump himself, there is his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and Hhealth and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr; Trump’s first pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, was accused in a House ethics report of 'regularly' paying for sex, including with minors."

"Our freak of the week is incel-fluffing testosterone-poisoned Andrew Tate. Andrew is our freak of the week because thanks apparently to the Trump administration, yesterday at dawn, a private jet whisked him out of Romania where he was facing rape and human trafficking charges and into our own beautiful state of Florida."

Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali note the timing of the Trump administration's drop of the Epstein files and suggest that the timing is not accidental: it was arranged to distract from Trump's freeing of sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his choice to fly Tate to the US.

"Trump has based his anti-immigration stance on the falsehood that immigrants are rapists and sexual predators. The right-wing media and Trump's supporters have fallen for that narrative completely. DOJ and ICE have commenced summary deportations of immigrants accused of crimes—without regard to their guilt or innocence."

The director of the institution, Pierre Silviet-Carricart, has been charged of the case of sexual assault. François Bayrou asked the investigating judge for a meeting at his place. The discussion was around the risks for the Bayrous' son, then a student at the boarding school. François Bayrou's wife attended the director's funeral in 2000.

At Parliament, on 11th February 2025, François Bayrou was representing the government for the weekly question-and-answer session. When asked about #Bétharram, he stated before the National Assembly that he had "never been informed of any violence, and even less of sexual violence".
