Genocidal rape, a form of wartime sexual violence, is the action of a group which has carried out acts of mass rape and gang rapes, against its enemy during wartime as part of a genocidal campaign.^[1] During the Armenian genocide,^[2] the Greek genocide,^[3][4][5] the Assyrian genocide,^[6][7] the second Sino-Japanese war, the Holocaust,^[8] the Bangladesh Liberation War,^{[9][10][11][12]} the Bosnian War,^[13] the Rwandan genocide,^[10][14] the Tamil genocide,^[15] the Circassian genocide, the Congolese conflicts, the South Sudanese Civil War, the Yazidi Genocide, and Rohingya genocide, mass rapes that had been an integral part of those conflicts brought the concept of genocidal rape to international prominence.^[16] Although war rape has been a recurrent feature in conflicts throughout human history, it has usually been looked upon as a by-product of conflict and not an integral part of military policy.^[17]
