A new report by an international humanitarian consortium has raised serious concerns over alleged sexual violence and coercive practices in the occupied West Bank. Drawing on testimonies collected over a three-year period, researchers describe patterns of abuse, including forced nudity, invasive searches, and public humiliation, allegedly carried out by Israeli soldiers and settlers. The report documents multiple cases of conflict-related sexual violence, while warning that the true scale may be significantly underreported. According to the findings, such acts are not isolated incidents but may be contributing to a broader climate of fear, with some families citing sexualized harassment as a tipping point in their decision to leave their homes.

In a powerful speech in Parliament, Modi urged all political parties to come together and support the bill, which proposes 33&#37 reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. He emphasized that the move is not a “favor” but a long-denied right for women.
