 Because rape in war frequently seeks to undermine and destroy bonds of family, community, and culture, there are important points of connection between rape in war and genocidal rape (Nenadic 2011). Genocide is the attempt to destroy a racial, ethnic, religious, or national group as such, in whole or in part, by committing any of a number of acts against the group’s members; the acts include not only killing, but also causing serious bodily or mental harm, creating conditions of life intended to destroy the group physically, and imposing restrictions intended to prevent births within the group. When such acts are committed with genocidal intent, the victim is not only the individual targeted, but the group itself. As Sarah Clark Miller observes, rape is an extraordinarily effective genocidal strategy, since it “corrupts women’s roles as caretakers of relationships, conveyors of cultural practices, and sustainers of meaning … . In these ways, genocidal rapists twist the way in which women are pivotal to the life of a community, rendering them pivotal to its destruction” (Miller 2009, 513–514).
