Wartime sexual violence
Wartime sexual violence
is
rape
or other forms of
sexual violence
committed by
combatants
during
armed conflict
or war or
military occupation
often as
spoils of war
; but sometimes, particularly in
ethnic conflict
, the phenomenon has broader sociological motives. Wartime sexual violence may also include
gang rape
and rape with objects. It is distinguished from
sexual assaults and rape committed amongst troops in military service
. It also covers the situation where girls and women are forced into
prostitution
or
sexual slavery
by an occupying power.
