According to statistics the probability of a woman being raped in herlifetime is very high. Also, domestic violence is reported as a common occurrence in almost every country in the world.3 Although in most countries,during peacetime, rape and other serious physical violence are considered a crime, during an armed conflict, sexual assault becomes a routine.
