More than 500 rape cases have been reported to five clinics in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, the United Nations said on Thursday, warning that the actual numbers were likely to be much higher due to stigma and a lack of health services.
“Women say they have been raped by armed actors, they also told stories of gang rape, rape in front of family members and men being forced to rape their own family members under the threat of violence,” Wafaa Said, deputy U.N. aid coordinator in Ethiopia, said in a briefing to U.N. member states in New York.
She said at least 516 rape cases had been reported by five medical facilities in Mekelle, Adigrat, Wukro, Shire and Axum.

Waiting for Whoopie to weigh in on this.
There are some bad people who just shouldn’t see another day of life.
How do you force a man to rape someone.
Wouldn’t that man have to be aroused for the rape to occur? In most cases, I would think the man would be “pushing a rope” under such circumstances.
I remember Paul Harvey would preface a story like this by saying: “We are not ONE world...”
She’s in Africa helping out her sisters there - oh wait, never mind.
Diversity is our strength. LOL
Animals...keep them away from our shores
Africa being Africa
SPJNK.....................
Well at least it’s being reported as a crime.
Here in the US black on black crime is something that’s taboo to report or cover as news
Wakanda!
I don't understand 2 scenarios that we hear about: The one on this thread is forced to rape.
1st How is a man FORCED to rape?
2nd: How can a man BE raped?
I do not understand how these things can happen. Without some kind of arousal how does it happen? Viagra? what
Yes I am serious. If preferred, answer in freepmail.
The nazis did things like this - they forced a mother to kill her own son in front of his sister, or they would kill her. But they killed her anyway, and all the kids. You just refuse to do what they say. They’ll kill you but that’s better than the last thing your son sees is his mother killing him.
Two subhuman ideologies, strangely similar.
Send in Meghan Markel and Ophra to help.
Sophie’s Choice. Great film.
Wakanda sure aint what it used to be.
Lower East Side...
You might start by acquainting yourself with the definition of “rape”.
For the other, I can only speculate, but such a response in men is not just because a man consciously desires that response. Sometimes it happens because of other stimuli, and the man has no control over it.
It's hard to say what the responses could be in such a terrible situation.
