Rape, a terrorism problem - Part 2

For example in a research paper published by the Henry Jackson Society in 2017, it was concluded that “terrorists use sexual violence, including rape, sexual slavery, and forced marriage, to bolster recruits, galvanise fighters, and, in the case of Islamist groups, punish kuffar (disbelievers). Propaganda on sexual slavery serves as incentive for new recruits and foreign fighters, with the promise of wives and sex slaves acting as a ‘pull factor’”.
In addition, as illustrated through the examples presented in this paper, “other forms of trafficking-related exploitation particular to or especially prevalent in conflict, including forced and temporary marriage, are highly gendered in their mo- tivation and impact, which underscores the importance of a gender analysis in all trafficking prevention efforts and re- sponses.” With regard to trafficking for forced marriage, this can include “where the wife carries out household duties while experiencing severe forms of violence, abuse and coercion including rape and non-consensual sexual intercourse.”
Moreover, terror tactics involving sexual violence such as rape have long- lasting and pernicious effects on victims and their communities, and often result in secondary victimization. In traditional communities, rape can lead to the strong stigmatization of victims, who are rejected due to being considered “impure” or “worthless”.
