Abstract: »The 1990s Balkan conflict within the former Yugoslavia drew extensive media attention on the systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of terror and ethnic cleansing. This paper presents a case study of 12 Bosnian women who were victimized in the 1990s Balkan conflict. The purpose is to gain insight on how victims perceive motivations of wartime rape. The findings indicate motivations were multi-dimensional and complex. Bosnian women were targeted and detained based on a larger strategic plan to ethnically cleanse the region of non-Serbs; however, rapists expressed individual offending motivations for sexually assaulting their victims. Future research on this phenomenon is required to fully understand the complexity of wartime rape.« (Source: All Academic)
