To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, June 19, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres paid tribute to the women, girls, men and boys who have suffered sexual violence in conflict, and reaffirmed the UN's "global commitment to eliminate this scourge."
