Hostage survivor Ilana Gritzewsky arrived at the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council at the Palais des Nations in Geneva and spoke about the sexual violence perpetrated against victims of the October 7 massacre and against the hostages. Ilana said: “I am very stressed, every time I speak the wounds open up in front of people. October 7 is something the world needs to understand and not forget. I must speak for those who no longer have a voice, so they understand what our soldiers are fighting for day and night.” Gritzewsky said to the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights: “Your report deals with violence against women, why is there no mention of Hamas? I am a woman who survived. Do you believe me now?”
