Journalism
I am doing a quick voluntary translation for Oxfam about the Colombian journalist Jineth Bedoya. One of the campaigns with which she is involved is:
Violaciones y otras violencias, saquen mi cuerpo la guerra
The context is as follows:
Ha creado la campaña "No es hora de callar" que hoy por hoy quiere concienciar a los hombres ("ellos lideran el 98% del problema", dice). Ha conseguido que futbolistas de primer nivel graben un vídeo y que su lema ocupe los principales estadios de fútbol de Colombia. Además, es portavoz de la campaña **Violaciones y otras violencias, saquen mi cuerpo la guerra** que impulsan más de 10 organizaciones de mujeres colombianas con el apoyo de Oxfam Intermón.
I am not sure how to translate this - any help greatly appreciated.

make sexual violence no part of the war
Hi Jane,
I think it should be "saquen mi cuerpo DE la guerra" - so the idea is to "get my body out of the war" meaning sexual violence (mainly against women, I would imagine) is a by-product or direct strategy of warring parties and should obviously not be part of it. The difficulty is putting it succinctly.
