Women, War, and Peace

By virtue of living abroad you tend to miss many of the things that go on in your own country, and months after returning I feel like I am still catching up and learning once again where to look for interesting shows and news. This is a look behind the making of this great series Women, War, and Peace shown on PBS.

It is odd to think that sexual violence during wars has only recently been prosecuted as a crime against humanity. Women make up half of humanity. How has it taken so long for us as a spices to recognise that this is not okay, that this is torture, that this is dehumanising?
