ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week’s episode comes with a warning: there are graphic and disturbing depictions of rape and sexual violence in today’s programme.
Make no mistake, the so-called Russian Rape Machine turns sexual assault and violence
into weapons of war. It’s as integral a part of their assault on Ukraine as
boots on the ground, drones, and artillery. Conflict-related sexual
violence is their stock in trade.
On this latest episode, we go on the ground to Ukraine to talk Alisa Kovalenko, a
founding member of SEMA Ukraine about the testimonies she's received from
victims of rape and sexual assault at the hands of the invading Russian
forces.
Plus, we speak to Noble Peace Prize recipient Oleksandra Matviichuk - one of
Ukraine's leading human rights lawyers and activists. She’s spent years
highlighting Russia's use of rape, torture, and crimes against humanity as part
of their arsenal when it comes to waging war.
