-'''Genocidal rape''' is a term used to describe the actions of a group who have carried out acts of mass rape during wartime against their perceived enemy as part of a [[genocide|genocidal campaign]]. During the [[Yugoslav Wars]] and the [[Rwandan genocide]], the mass rapes that had been an integral part of those conflicts brought the concept of genocidal rape to international prominence. Although [[war rape]] has been a recurrent feature in conflicts throughout history, it has usually been looked upon as a by-product of conflict, and not an integral part of military policy.+'''Wartime sexual violence''' are [[rape]]s or other forms of [[sexual violence]] committed by [[combatants]] during [[armed conflict]] or war, or during [[military occupation]] often as [[spoils of war]]; but sometimes, particularly in [[ethnic conflict]], the phenomenon has broader sociological motives. Wartime sexual violence may also include [[gang rape]] and rape with objects.
