Under peaceful conditions, men normally & naturally dominate women in many spheres of life. During wartime, gender roles & orders are dislocated. On the one hand, women may become principal actors behind the lines with the absence of men at home, while on the other hand, war creates problems for women, eg, prostitution, rape, & refugee status. Enemy women who are sexually violated during war serve the political logic supported by traditional gender systems. The situation of women during the war in the former Yugoslavia raised questions about prosecution for wartime sexual violation, which had not previously been specified in international codes on women's rights. 12 References.
