The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.\n\n“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.\n\nMBFC\nArchive",
