The day also honors the victims and survivors of sexual violence around the world. #EliminationSexualViolenceInConflict The United Nations defines conflict-related sexual violence as any of the following acts: ●Rape ●Sexual slavery ●Forced prostitution ●Forced pregnancy ●Trafficking ●Forced abortion ●Forced marriage ●Enforced sterilization Women and girls are not the only victims of conflict-related sexual violence.

The day also raises awareness of the ongoing need to improve education for children in Africa. #DayOfTheAfricanChild The Soweto Uprising began on June 16, 1976.

The UN Security Council strongly condemned the incident and the apartheid government....
