Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The report described the level and cases of gender based sexual violence during the armed conflict and proved that both the warring parties were involved in such heinous acts. It also showed the lethargic mindset of the government, society and civil society through out the country that were silent on those cases as the culprits and perpetrators are roaming around quite freely till today. Health status, mental pressure and internal displacement can be regarded as the major issues that are projected by different versions of sexual violence against women during the war.

Keywords: Psychological Violence; sexual violence; verbal abuse; gender inequality; armed conflict; harassment; intimidation; abuse; rape; women’s rights; Socio-cultural Violence; social impacts; child marriage; internal displacement; Educational dropouts; Unwanted pregnancies; HIV/AIDS; mental health; traumas.
