Text: The Dinah Project Report - Hamas Used Sexual Violence as a Tactical Weapon of War
(The Dinah Project) The Dinah Project was established to achieve recognition and justice for victims and survivors of sexual violence during the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and for those taken hostage. This report represents the most comprehensive assessment to date of the sexual violence that occurred during and after the attack. Since the vast majority of the victims are no longer alive or are still engaged in the process of recovering from trauma and are unable to describe what they experienced, the testimonies of those who saw or heard sexual violence taking place serve as a main source of information. Some testimonies entail people who saw the attacks while in hiding, others heard sounds and voices, including screams of women begging for help or begging the perpetrator to stop, that leave no doubt as to what went on.
