Study Notes
The Role and Experiences of Girl Child Soldiers
- Girls are forcibly abducted into armed groups and are highly valued for their obedience and ability to swell the ranks.
- They are involved in military training and support the everyday functioning of armed groups through various tasks.
- Their roles include domestic work, sexual slavery, and combat activities, often carrying out multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Girls in armed groups are at high risk of sexual violence and are often forced into sexual slavery.
- Combat activities are a significant part of the duties of many girls associated with fighting forces.
- Girls experience extreme forms of violence and insecurity within armed groups.
- They are both perpetrators and victims of violence, suffering from coercion, terror, and deception.
- Girls are excluded from Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR) programs, which primarily focus on male combatants.
- DDR programs marginalize girls formerly associated with fighting forces and fail to address their specific needs.
- The exclusion of girls from DDR programs perpetuates gendered exclusion and undermines efforts to promote peace and security.
- The chronic quest for safety and security is particularly challenging for girls in fighting forces due to their vulnerability exacerbated by gender, age, and physical disadvantage.
- The experiences of girl combatants reveal the pervasive culture of violence in armed groups and the complex nature of their plight.
Genocidal Rape and Enforced Pregnancy
- Women in rape/death camps are systematically raped either as torture preceding death or leading to forced pregnancy
- Serbian rapists aimed to produce Serb children through enforced pregnancies
- Forced pregnancies can be viewed as a crime of biological warfare, impacting the morale of a population
- Sperm used as a biological weapon can cause social chaos and psychological trauma
- Enforced pregnancies can destroy the morale of a people, especially if inflicted on the youth
- Sperm as a weapon fits the concept of biological warfare, attacking the reproductive system
- Women impregnated through rape attempted 3rd trimester abortions, suicide, infanticide, or abandoned newborns
- Enforced pregnancies can terrorize a population into evacuating a territory
- Women giving birth to children from rape may never regain the desire to engage in sexual relationships or procreate further
- Serbian soldiers enforced pregnancies on Muslim women as part of the Brana plan
- The Brana plan's enforced pregnancy policy can be seen as part of genocide, leading to stigmatization and social chaos
- The discussion of genocidal rape has been female-centric, neglecting the experiences of male victims, including in Serbian detention camps
