Christina Lamb: bearing witness to war crimes against women

From Saturday Morning, 9:07 am on 25 April 2020

The decorated war correspondent Christina Lamb (Farewell Kabul, I Am Malala) has written a harrowing history of what war does to women.

Our Bodies, Their Battlefield is her attempt to tell the true story of the injustices done to women in wartime.

And shamefully, rape and sexual violence have become commonplace in many modern conflicts as a weapon of terror and humiliation, and as a way of carrying out ethnic cleansing.
