I have spent much of my more recent professional life listening to victims and survivors—mainly women—who have been brutalised in detention centres or in the course of conflicts, men who have watched their families disappear and communities that have been erased not by accident but by design. The noble Lord, Lord Alton, mentioned some of them: the Yazidis, the people of Darfur and Tigray, the Ukrainians and the Palestinians. The list goes on.
