Condemning rape and sexual violence against women.
HRES 1068 is a symbolic House resolution condemning all forms of rape and sexual violence against women globally, both during conflicts and in peacetime. It specifically denounces the weaponization of sexual violence in recent conflicts (including Hamas attacks on Israel, Sudan, Ukraine, and others) and highlights ongoing issues in the U.S. and worldwide. The resolution calls for international action to hold perpetrators accountable and prioritize eliminating gender-based violence in conflict settings. As a non-binding statement, it does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally expresses congressional disapproval of sexual violence.
