was recognizable and distinct from the sexual violence committed by armed combatants and non-specified perpetrators. TYPES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE An individual sexual assault could be coded as having more than one type of sexual violence. For instance, a woman who was gang raped in the presence of her children would have been coded as both gang rape and rape in the presence of family members. For the 4,311 records reviewed, there were 4,778 sexual violence codes. Gang rape comprised the majority (almost 60%) of the sexual assaults (Figure 4). Rape NOS constituted over 20% of the attacks and 12% of the attacks involved being captured and held as a sex slave for at least 24 hours. The “Other” category of sexual violence included anal penetration, forced oral sex, sexual harassment, forced to undress, forced rape between victims and insertion of foreign objections into the vagina or anus. Figure 4. Type of sexual violence reported by survivors presenting to Panzi Hospital. Percentages refer to the percentage of all types of sexual violence coded since some women described more than one type of sexual violence (example: gang rape in the presence of family members). “Other” included anal penetration, forced oral sex, sexual harassment, forced to undress, forced rape between victims and insertion of foreign objections into the vagina or anus. 16
