Plight and Fate of Women During and Following Genocide
Search in google:
The plight and fate of female victims during the course of genocide is both similar to and, in some respects, radically and profoundly different from their male counterparts. During the course of genocide, female victims, like males, suffer demonization, ostracism, discrimination, and deprivation of their basic human rights. Likewise, they are often rounded up, deported, and killed. But, unlike most men, they have also been subjected to rape, gang rape, and mass rape. Such assaults and degradation can, and often do, result in horrible injuries to their reproductive systems and unwanted pregnancies. This collection takes one stride towards redressing these grievances, and attempts to overcome policies calculated to continue such indifference to great human suffering.
