Sexual violence and conflict go hand in hand. In ancient warfare, sexual violence was a common procedure, perceived as an inevitable consequence of war. Soldiers needed to 'release' after heavy fighting; sexual distraction would reward, motivate and relax them. In other words, sexual violence was seen as 'collateral damage' and was therefore never prosecuted as a crime. This practice started to change after the Second World War. In fact, at the moment the existence of sexual violence was internationally acknowledged, women's rights gained recognition and several forms of sexual violence were classified. Finally, sexual violence was labeled as a 'weapon of war'. 2015-01-10T13:29:23Z 2015-01-10T13:29:23Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11953 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
