“Our policy is to oppose all warfighting, and to help women survive men’s wars,” says RINJ boss, Katie Alsop.
In 12 years of quietly helping women and girls inside hidden war-zone women’s shelters, rape clinics, birthing clinics and health care facilities, the women of The RINJ Foundation have determined that “the greatest threat to the safety of women and girls is war”.

That statement applies to all wars including the sacred NATO/USA proxy war, against Russia in Ukraine which has harmed millions of women and girls. Yes, millions are either killed, casualties, or displaced from their homes, their families and from their normal lives.
- Women and girls suffer violence more than men during war.
- Women and girls are raped by all sides in the warfighting as a way to punish the enemy and to create a genocidal baby boom.
- The rape of girls in war is considered by men to be “the spoils of war”.
- Women and their families suffer economic hardship from the cost of lost employment during war. This leads to famine and starvation if not just the health hazards of malnutrition.
- Women are abducted into wars and forced to become sex slaves and suicide bombers.
“Sexual violence in conflict needs to be treated as the war crime that it is—it can no longer be treated as an unfortunate collateral damage of war.” UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura
