War's dirty secret: Rape, prostitution, and other crimes against women

---

War’s Dirty Secret exposes the gendered violence that accompanies armed conflict, revealing how rape, forced prostitution, sexual slavery, and other abuses against women are systematically used as tools of war, domination, and social control. Drawing on historical cases, survivor testimonies, and international research, the book demonstrates how militarism, political agendas, and patriarchal structures enable and normalize these crimes. It also examines the long-term consequences for survivors—psychological trauma, social stigmatization, displacement, and economic marginalization—while critiquing the failures of legal and humanitarian systems to adequately protect or support them. By integrating analysis with calls for accountability and reform, the book underscores the urgent need for stronger international mechanisms to prevent gender-based violence in conflict and to ensure justice and healing for survivors.
