From Foreign Policy’s article, published March 18, on the “rampant” sexual assault happening now in Syria, The Women in the Middle of the War:
“Those who rape and violate women in Syria do so by taking advantage of certain social taboos that make it difficult for women to talk about what happened to them. They fear being ostracized by their communities, or even by their families. In areas controlled by religious extremists, women who are violated also fear for their lives, as being sentenced to death
Sexual assault is not an accidental consequence of war, but a strategy for control.
is a possible consequence for being forced to participate in certain sexual acts. These possibilities are a form of social control that can be leveraged during chaotic situations like the one in Syria right now. Sexual assault is not an accidental consequence of war, but a strategy for control.”
