User:Nutti22/Mulu Mesfin

Mulu Mesfin is an Ethiopian nurse who has treated hundreds of rape victims since the start of the Tigre war in November 2020.

Mesfin launched the campaign in 2018 to end violence against girls and young women in Tigre, an issue that has become increasingly urgent since the start of the current civil war in late 2020. Since then, he has treated hundreds of rape victims, 10 to 15 every day, and confirmed that the number of abused women has not decreased, but rather increased. He calculated that it could grow twenty times. In the same way, he collected and made public the testimonies of these women, who had been attacked by both Eritrean and Ethiopian soldiers for weeks.

Mesfin still continues to carry out his work in the hope that one day there will be peace.
