The utilization of rape as a strategic resource for war is a grave violation of human rights and wrecks severe physical and psychological consequences for not only the victims but whole communities as well. This abstract explores existent sociocultural foundations and norms which facilitate the use of rape for the destruction of enemy territories. It also aims to amplify the gravity of this heinous crime by presenting the impacts of war rape from both an individualistic and collective standpoint. It is hoped that by drawing attention to these impacts, relevant discourse would serve to not only galvanize international efforts towards curbing this global menace but also adequately penalize convicted rapists. This would not only bring justice, compensation and closure for victims and their communities but also serve as an ultimate deterrent to prospective criminals .
