| description | Rape and other forms of sexual violence are increasingly becoming the order of the current armed conflicts of both internal and international characters no matter what the reasons behind the conflicts are.

The countries whose armed conflicts were characterised by acts of rape and sexual violence include; Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Uganda, Sudan, Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina), East Timor, to mention just a few. |
