Women
and girls hardly ever fight the world's wars, but they often suffer the most.
Increasingly, they are the direct targets of fighting, when sexual violence is
deliberately used as a tactic of warfare.
And
yet fewer than 10 percent of the people who negotiate peace deals are women,
and only about three dozen individuals have been convicted and jailed by
international war crimes tribunals for committing or commanding widespread
sexual violence.
