Military womens issues- sexual assault

This site discusses how Armies At War Use Rape as a Weapon. This
has been a problem in particular in Bosnia. Recently it has come to

now able to reveal their trauma. Rape was not considered a polite
topic of conversation and it is often considered a kindness not to
ask if you think a woman has been raped in certain cultures.
