 Schott takes a different approach to explaining the genocidal nature of military rape aimed at enforced pregnancy, drawing centrally on Hannah Arendt’s concept of natality. War rape aimed at forced impregnation, Schott observes, “[transforms] birth into a weapon of death. This is so for women who are raped, who lose a sense of being at home in their own bodies and of having a future, and it is so for the children born of forced maternity, who may suffer expulsion from the mother’s community” (2011, 14). Thus such rape undermines natality, or the capacity for new beginnings, which Arendt regarded as fundamental to human political life. Thus, Schott contends, “war rape can be understood not only as a tool for the unmaking of the social and cultural world, but also a tool for the unmaking of the political world” (2009, 86).
