Tactical Rape in War and Conflict cover

The use of rape as a deliberate tactic of war is a serious human rights issue. This ground-breaking book is the first to analyse its use as an act of war against civilians and international progress away from tacit acceptance to active rejection of this violation of international law. Powerful testimonies of victims are included, making this a much-needed volume for academic and professional communities.

"Meticulously details the strengths and limitations of international responses to rape in war. Fitzpatrick’s analysis is clear: rape in conflict is not inevitable, but a deliberate strategy to control and dehumanize." Victoria Canning, The Open University
