London: Amnesty International, 2004. In most of today's wars, civilian casualties far outnumber those of armed combatants. Women and men both suffer human rights violations in conflicts, such as unlawful killings and torture. However, the particular ways in which women are targeted for violence, or are otherwise affected by armed conflict, are usually overlooked. Women and girls are more likely to be the target of sexual violence, especially rape. Women face extra, sometimes insurmountable, obstacles to obtain justice, because of the stigma attached to survivors of sexual violence, and women's disadvantaged position in society. Whether civilians or combatants, refugees or displaced people, the impact of war weighs particularly heavilyu on women. In this report Amnesty International shows some of the ways in which conflict affects women, and the many different roles which women play in conflict. Women are not only victims and survivors, but also activists, negotiators, peace-builders and human rights defenders. Attempts to address the human rights consequences of conflict, including its particular effects on women, can only be comprehensive and long-lasting if women play an active part in rebuilding society at all levels.. First Edition. Paperback. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
