Thesis
Zinsstag, E. (2008). Sexual violence against women during armed conflicts: towards a transitional justice perspective. (Thesis). Queen's University Belfast. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/4178029

“The soldiers raped every woman there while their men were forced to watch. Then the women were held as the men were shot and bayoneted. Rape was being used quite deliberately as a weapon of subjection. As the women were being raped so were the Highl...
