Conflict is an open clash between two opposing individuals,groups, organizations, ethnics and states. In conflict times, the violenceagainst women assumes the form of savagery, soldiers, militias, or gunmenfrom both sides ravage women and rape them and the law comes to astandstill and there is no punishment for crime. But the important questionis why women are violated and harassed during conflict time?It is estimated that millions of people around the world have lost their livesin various wars over the past century. Although men and women gothrough similar experiences and traumas in the midst of these conflicts, thetype of death is often different. In times of war, all men and women areforced to leave their homes and livelihoods, are injured or lose their livesand find it difficult to make a living during, and even after the conflict.But during regional wars, the fate of women is often disproportionatelyaffected by the conflict between the groups involved, and the experienceof women and children in these periods is fundamentally different fromthat of men.
