- Nóta The combined term sexual and gender-based violence reflects the dual nature of this type of violence as both sexual and a form of discrimination. It can be directed against both women and men, although women are more likely to fall victim to this form of violence. It includes rape, attempted rape, all forms of sexual assault, sexual threats, harassment, exploitation or humiliation, forced pregnancy, forced sterilization, forced abortion, trafficking for sexual exploitation, sexual slavery, and female genital mutilation.In armed conflict, the breakdown of law and order and the general context of violence make it easier for perpetrators to commit sexual and gender-based violence on a large scale and with relative impunity. It is often used as a ‘strategy’ or ‘tactic’ of war, e.g., in order to intimidate the civilian population or extract confessions from detainees. Certain forms of sexual and gender-based violence are more prevalent in armed conflict than in peacetime, including sexual slavery and gang rape.
