2026-02-23.9_J M Bihamba - rape as weapon of war

“This is no longer a question of sexuality. There is a manifest desire to destroy beyond the victim alone. This weapon of war crushes women; but the goal is also to reach their entire community through them. The weapon shows who is in control of the area. It humiliates, terrorizes and destroys the population.”

• Justine Masika Bihamba, Women Resist War, pg. 66
