Gender Component Example:

11.The perpetration of sexual and gender-based violence against girls, and sometimes

     boys, by both State and non-States parties to conflict is, in many cases,

     deliberate, targeted and a direct consequence of criminal intent. In the Great

     Lakes Region, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and

     Burundi, there are appalling levels of sexual violence perpetrated against

     girls, in most cases with total impunity. In Darfur, rape is a method of

     warfare used by certain armed groups to humiliate and to force the

     displacement of girls and their families.
