Today's Video Focus: Campaigners determined to prevent attacks are this year's Nobel peace
prize winners
From Hollywood's metoo movement to the distinguished Nobel Peace Prize,
more light is being shed on the prevalence of sexual violence - both in
war and peace.
The UN has called gender-based violence a global pandemic.
A recent United Nations study found sexual violence continues to be
employed as a tactic of war and a tool of political repression.
Sexual violence is not only prevalent on the battlefields of war but can
also be experienced at home or work.
Will the presitigious award provide a much larger platform for survivors
of sexual violence everywhere?
