About Time that Rape as a Tool of War and Repression Must be Eliminated

Women and children have been the primary victim of war, occupation, and various types of repression. Every war, genocide, pogrom, and ethnic cleansing has seen gang-rapes at massive scales. The victimization of women at massive scales is also seen in failed states and unraveling societies. A comprehensive program to deter this evil is needed. The session of experienced human rights lawyers and human rights activists who have worked with victims of many genocides as well as undertaken strategic advocacy are well suited to deal with this important and complex subject. The clinicians with expertise in behavioral neurology make this session well-rounded.
