UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls

The UN constantly focuses on crimes against women and girls, but in the end it turns out that the majority of civilians killed in wars are men and boys.

Palestinian women and girls have reportedly been arbitrarily executed in Gaza, often together with family members, including their children

So, everyone? Pointless to focus on women here.

Alot of mainstream media I've seen recently about is has done the usual "including woman and children" in its reporting.

Highlighting Children sure, that's tragic and emphasises how terrible the situation is but I find that viewing adult women the same as children is completely out dated and perpetuates the notion that men are expendable or in way some more acceptable casualties.

I think it's important to highlight human rights abuses and suffering for all people. It does however appear that men and boys are often left out, which feeds into the general narrative of disposability. Just because you happen to be a male, or an adult male, in a combat zone, does not make you a combatant.

Crazy how it's not even women and children anymore

Here they go again completely ignoring the fact that the majority of casualties in war are male.

To give the UN a speck of credit, I don't necessarily think they're ignoring men in this respect, I just think it's difficult to violate the human rights of men you've already killed en-masse, rather than left alive.

That's not to say that then UN is any good at not ignoring those deaths.

to be fair, in Gazan (and Muslim in general) culture, if your mother/sister/daughter/wife is raped that is like approximately infinitely worse of a fate than getting tortured to death and approximately (100%) of every Muslim guy I know would take that over letting that happen. And I am not even a feminist. In fact I am very much outraged at how badly men are treated in todays world. This one(lone) issue though...there is no end to the sacrifices I would make in myself or other men.

The UN is only useful as a meeting place for the countries to gather. It’s quite literally useless in every other scenario. They don’t have the money/army to actually bring peace anywhere so they just talk about feminism. Then when real shit goes down they are nowhere to be found.
