Humanitarian Protection of women in Situations of Armed Conflict

The importance of drawing attention to the protection of women in situations of armed conflict is not without reason. Women experience war in a multitude of ways from taking an active part as combatants to being targeted as members of the civilian population or just because they are women.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL) tries to protect the wounded, sick, prisoners of war and civilians in the hands of enemies. Though IHL instruments seem to be comprehensive, they do not cover the full range of human suffering caused by war.  War is not just a man’s business. In today’s conflicts, the impact of war on women can be severe. Irrespective of their capacity as civilians or combatants, women face systematic disadvantages that are the product of gender inequality, which generally intensify during armed conflict.

Wars are no longer fought in secluded combat zones – the battlefield is in the midst of the civilian population.  Civilians, not combatants, make up the largest number of casualties, and _____ _____ ___ __________ _______ ____ ____ _________ _______ ____ ______ _______.
