Gender based Political Violence: A Weapon of War?

Shivani Raj


Abstract: For centuries we have heard or seen women being suppressed by the men and the society. Be it in the mythology of Mahabharat or the history of conquering a kingdom. Sati was practiced in India earlier and one of the main reasons that it happened by the women of that kingdom was that if the King captivated or dies in the war the enemy winning should not use the women for their pleasure. No matter how many laws are passed, amendments are made in the constitution, committees are set up for the rights of women's empowerment and punishments are given maybe this change will never happen. Women and children are the first vulnerable in every war or communal situation. This article talks about how women are sexually used during war and conflicts. How the feminists will always keep fighting and raising voices in hope that one day maybe the society will understand and change but they will keep getting disappointed.
