"In places like Darfur or Guatemala, women struggle to maintain any traditional hold on power they may have once had. Once raped, they are stigmatised or shunned by their own families and villages. Called "whores" and "sluts", husbands shun them and police and judges can re-rape them. Many live in silence with their pain, telling at most one person close to them or a doctor what they've endured. In the 1971 war in Bangladesh, women said they stayed with the soldiers who'd hurt them because they had no choice, having been rejected by Bangladeshi men."

Våldtäkt används som vapen i krig för att vinna en maktposition. Fiendes kvinnor våldtas av soldater för att visa männen vilka som är starkast. Dessa kvinnor blir sedan anklagade för att varit otrogna, blir kallade horor och utestängda från samhället. I stora drag är det detta min b- uppsats kommer handla om. Vad arg jag kommer bli.
