Abstract:
»Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is defined by the United Nations as any form of sexual violence of comparable gravity committed against women, men, girls, or boys and connected, either directly or indirectly, to a conflict. Kashmir has continued to be a major source of conflict in South Asia. Like other conflict zones, Kashmiri women and children have suffered brazen rapes, brutal killings, and abductions in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IOK). These incidents were committed by Armed forces and uniformed people but they were not held accountable. This study aims to discuss major incidents of rape, one of the cruelest forms of CRSV, committed by the armed forces in IOK. Eight major cases of rape were included in this study. The data was collected from multiple sources, including media reports, web articles, and publications by various international organizations. Findings highlight severe and systemic human rights abuses, underscored by a pervasive culture of impunity and significant failures within the judicial and law enforcement systems. The repeated nature of these incidents suggests systemic flaws and a lack of accountability within the security forces. Addressing these issues is vital for achieving long-term peace and stability in the region.«
