While Admiring Their Intentions, How Can They Ever Hope To Stamp Out Sexual Violence In War?

Intentions are definitely honourable. but I can't be the only one to see some kind of irony in implying physical violence, killing/ maiming the enemy is fine & dandy, but sexual violence is beyond the Pale. Maybe the aim should be to make war a thing of the past and the rest then follows. No one should be put through the horrors that comes with war.

ladybirder - Thank you for your clarification.
I felt after my post had gone to the thread that I had been somewhat superior and nit-picking with my response - please accept my apologies for that.
As you correctly advise, there are additional aspects of behaviour which are adding to the violence of rape.
I still maintain that selecting an albeit important and emotive aspect of warefare somewhat detracts from the notion of stopping warfare altogether, which would have the additional benefit of eliminating this barbaric side-effect that comes with it.

Stopping war altogether will only ever be a notion. It'll never happen, irrespective of how many conferences they have on sexual violence, so I wouldn't criticise them on that basis.
