In the subdivision of the section "History of laws against sexual assault during war" called "World War II", I request for where it says 'The International Military Tribunal for the Far East did convict Japanese officers "of failing to prevent rape" in the Nanjing Massacre, which is known as the "Rape of Nanking". The tribunal, in Tokyo, prosecuted cases of sexual violence and war rape as war crimes under the wording "inhumane treatment", "ill-treatment", and "failure to respect family honour and rights". According to the prosecution, in excess of 20,000 women and girls were raped during the first weeks of the Japanese occupation of the Chinese city of Nanking' to 'The International Military Tribunal for the Far East did convict Japanese officers "of failing to prevent rape" in the Nanjing Massacre, which is known as the "Rape of Nanjing".

I petition to remove the following: In Hamas' surprise attack on Israel in 2023, Hamas performed acts of sexual violence against Israeli women, including mutilation, rape and torture. [47][46][48][49]According to an investigation of New York Times journalists, who used video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, there were at least seven locations where sexual assaults and mutilations of Israeli women and girls were carried out. They concluded that these were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern in which Hamas "weaponized sexual violence" during the attacks.[50][51]
Citing the Oct. 7 investigation by the New York Times without citing multiple other media reports that debunk and question that report -- which has caused considerable ire and controversy internally -- is irresponsible and perpetuates a false narrative that has exacerbated relations during an already tumultuous conflict. A recent investigation published by the Intercept includes comment from a NYT spokesperson that said: "She [reporter Anat Schwartz] was told there had been no complaints made of sexual assaults. This however was just the very first step of her research. She then describes the unfolding of evidence, testimonies, and eventual evidence that there may have been systematic use of sexual assault. She details her research steps and emphasizes the Times’s strict standards to corroborate evidence, and meetings with reporters and editors to discuss probing questions and think critically about the story.” The key word here is may, which is a reversal from their original claim of definitive evidence. Given the rapidly changing nature of this allegation -- which is grave and has calamitous consequences -- I encourage the editors of this article to refrain from including this instance until there is definitive evidence. 198.115.84.243 (talk) 20:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Not done for now, note there is an ongoing discussion about this at RSN, NYT Selfstudier (talk) 14:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 May 2024[edit]
It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Wartime sexual violence. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |
Change: "As Tamil women got raped by Japanese, the Japanese soldiers contracted venereal disease like soft sore, syphilis and gonorrhoea and Thai women also spread those diseases to coolies on the railroad."
To: "As Japanese soldiers raped Tamil women, they spread sexually transmittal diseases (STDs) such as chancroid, syphilis, and gonorrhea. These epidemics in turn spread among Thai women and male railroad laborers."
Justification: Reworded to assign the actions of rape and of spreading disease to the men actually perpetrating mass rape, rather than using passive language or assigning the actions to the unwilling victims. Changed disease terminology to consistently reflect the medical names rather than common names. Changed the outdated and offensive term "coolies" to more descriptive language.
