The Nobel Peace Prize 2018 was awarded jointly to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict".
"Both laureates have made a crucial contribution to
focusing attention on, and combating, such war crimes. Denis Mukwege is
the helper who has devoted his life to defending these victims. Nadia
Murad is the witness who tells of the abuses perpetrated against herself
and others. Each of them in their own way has helped to give greater
visibility to war-time sexual violence, so that the perpetrators can be
held accountable for their actions."
