Abstract
Bosnia gave the world the imagery of rape camps in the heart of Europe; Rwanda the imagery of machetes and banana stems transformed into instruments of terror in the heart of Africa. The imagery of massacred rape victims piled up, the corpses of dead young women and young girls ‘laid out with their dresses over their heads, the legs spread and bent. You could see what seemed to be semen drying or dried’ (Nowrojee, 2003/2005, p. 4).
