Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa
Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa, has called for a concerted effort to support victims of the Israel-Gaza conflict, particularly women affected by the events of October 2023.
She said voices of women and affected communities were heard in all conflict resolution and peacebuilding processes.
The Israeli Ambassador said this in Accra at a press conference on the topic “the fight against sexual violence in Israel, insights from October 7.”
Ms Sufa said this was the time to distribute the information on sexual violence, adding that it was important for people to be aware of the sexual violence that took place.
“This is not political bias. It is a matter of being on either side of the conflict. It is morally wrong,” she said.
She noted that Israel has been actively engaging with international partners and organisations to combat sexual violence.
Ambassador Sufa called for global recognition of the trauma inflicted by Hamas and the suffering endured by the victims, and called on all relevant and competent bodies, both national and international to bring all perpetrators regardless of their rank and affiliation to justice.
