What is Justice for a Rape Victim?
by Phyllis Chesler
...Rape is "gender cleansing." The intended effect of rape is always the same: to utterly break the spirit of the rape victim, to drive her out of her body and out of her mind so as to render her incapable of resistance.
According to attorney Karime,Bennoune: "Terrorist attacks on women (in Algeria had ) the desired effect: widespread psychosis among the women; internal exile—living in hiding, both physically and psychologically, in their own country." In Bennoune's view, "the collective psychosis" was due to the "escalation of violence" by the "soldiers of the Islamic state." According to Michael Curtis, M.D., an American volunteer-physician for Doctors Without Borders, "In Bosnia's Tuzla camp, the leading cause of death [was] suicide, probably the only refugee camp in the world where that is the case."
