Women facing war
This study by the ICRC is an extensive reference document
on the impact of armed conflict on the lives of women. Taking
as its premise the needs of women in situations of armed conflict,
e.g., physical safety, access to health care, food and shelter,
the study explores the problems faced by women in wartime
and the coping mechanisms they employ.
A thorough analysis of inter-national humanitarian law, and
to a lesser extent human rights and refugee law, was carried
out as a means to assess the protection afforded to women
through these bodies of law. The study also includes a review
of the ICRC's operational response to the needs of women as
victims of armed conflict.
Available from the ICRC in English;
also to be published in French and Spanish. Sfr. 45.-
