 Abstract. This
research presents how the systematic use of rape as a tool of warfare
during the Bosnian War received international attention. The United
Nations declared rape as a crime against humanity in its aftermath. It
has been utilized as a method of ethnic cleansing during instances of
genocide. Rape has reached epidemic proportions in the Democratic
Republic of the
 Congo. It is affecting such a significant portion of the
population and the DRC lacks adequate resources to aid those that have
been victimized and those that are continually committing rape. The DRC
is now known as ‘the rape capital of the world.’ This research explores
how this happened and what can the international community do to aid
those that survived being assaulted. |
