Women are not only the victims of wartime sexual violence, but can also be the perpetrators.[1][2][3] A study done by Dara Kay Cohen found evidence in interviews with former combatants of female fighters committing gang rape against both men and women during conflict in Sierra Leone.[4] Likewise, data from a study from the Journal of the America Medical Association found that in the Democratic Republic of the Congo women committed 41.1% of the total sexual violence against women, and 10% of the total sexual violence against men.[5] Laura Sjoberg states that the perpetration of wartime sexual violence by women “contradicts the dominant narrative about what a woman is generally and about women’s capacity for violence specifically.”[6]
