Special Rapporteur for Poso : Women Ensnared By Impunity : Violence & Intervention.

---

The violence experienced by women was inherent to the conflict and displacement during
armed conflict between religious-based communities in Poso. Of the 72 cases documented,
three typologies were identified: a) Violence against Women related to the context of conflict escalation in Poso. In this phase, two cases of sexual violence were documented: forced nudity in the village of Sintuwulembah and a rape case in Malei village. Three non-sexual
cases documented were arbitrary killings of women and an attempted murder of women; b) Violence against Women related to
the placement of security and military forces in Poso. Since the conflict broke out in Poso, the government deployed security and military forces to restore security. During this period, 58 cases of sexual violence were documented involving personal relationships between security personnel and local women, mostly teenagers. There were also cases of gender-based exploitation of women labor; and c) Violence against women during internal displacement, including domestic violence, dating violence and violence against women within the community. Displaced persons came from villages attacked during the conflict between 2000 and 2002.
