War rape

named Ndazimo from the Eastern Congo spoke out about how she was raped, “I was screaming at the top of my lungs when they ripped my clothes off, but the neighbours quietly went back to their houses and closed the curtains. For them it was just another rape.”(Brogeland) In the Democratic Republic of Congo 48 women are raped every hour. Women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are getting raped by soldiers. I feel like this movement would never stop because the government is falling apart. The structure

Sexuality and violence is an integral part of human nature that is distinct yet at the same time linked in many ways to each other. In nature, the majority of alpha males have dominance over the female counterpart whether it is in their daily lives or sexual interactions. To some extent, it is similar in human beings, where power, aggression and authority may force the weak to be subjects of their abuse. Without the protection of law and order, as seen in past human societies, immoral and unethical

Historically, male rape in ancient rime periods was considered a right of victorious solider against soldiers of the defeated warring faction. The philosophy behind this was the male who was sexually penetrated lost his “manhood” and was no longer seen as a warrior in the public’s eye. This custom has been practiced as late as World War 1 and World War II in the European countries. Back during Roman times, in Persia and Iran, gang raping

My discussion question is discussing why the authorities are not recognizing these as war crimes and putting forth more effort to prevent it. There are such high amounts of women being violently raped and left with severe injuries and three is still little amounts of evidence connecting them to the perpetrators. There are also more women who are not able to be registered as a victim because they cannot access hospitals to report anything. There could be a larger amount of women who have been violently

Masculinity which theorises male domination of other males and subordination of females (Connell, 2005), I assert that rape is particularly rampant in societies where sexual violence is an effective means of attaining this status quo. Thus when rape is institutionalised in the context of war where masculinity is measured by the ability and willingness to assert violence upon the enemy, rape becomes rampant because it is not only condoned but authorised (Price, 2001). I then debunk the claims of biological

Although they didn’t quite understand it yet, it was thought that shrapnel entered the brain during battle explosions and caused small brain hemorrhages. When symptoms occurred in war veterans who had not been exposed to explosions, it was then often viewed as a character flaw. In the 1970s, during and after the Vietnam War, post-traumatic stress received

The topics presented within both the video and the article discussed war babies. A war baby is a child that is born out of rape during a war. It’s typical that within some regions during war, soldiers may come through and rape women. The magnitude of these crimes could easily be considered a crime against humanity, as well as a major violation of women’s rights. These rapes are not only a crime against women, but are also a crime against the children that are born out of these situations. As the

husband, relative’s, and neighbors, people they know and trust. Many women have to live in fear of their communities because of these events. Clinton also brought attention to the reality of rape of women in wars. In many wars, women have been subjected to rape as a tactic to make these men seem more powerful. The rape of women weakens the home and towns they live in. Hillary Clinton’s speech is remarkable not only because of the unbelievable reality women endure, but also because of her credibility

Rape Crisis Centers SER 101: Kevin Garganta Pierre Sophy Fall 2016   Abstract This research is focused on rape crisis centers for women who have been sexually abused or raped. Some survivors of rape and sexual abuse require the assistance of rape crisis centers to try and gain back control of their lives. Some women may require long-term counseling as a result whereas others do no. Whichever the case, with such a high number of survivors, the help must remain readily available.
