Crimes of rape and other forms of sexual violence in war are woefully under-prosecuted, according to Leslie Thomas of ART WORKS Projects. She believes, “that with perseverance there will be a global understanding that sexual violence cannot be tolerated as a by-product of war and that victims and combatants will expect that these crimes will be prosecuted.” Thomas and co-collaborator, Galya Ruffer, of Northwestern University’s Center for Forced Migration Studies will tell us what they think it will take for sexual war crimes to become a major component of international law.
