It's always interesting to see a historical picture and after reading your part I'm really happy we decided to include it. Also glad that different forms of sexual violence get a mention and are separated in one of the sections. I have some minor grammar suggestions which I'd be happy to send separately.

Good job, Gina. One thing I thought about, though, is that it could perhaps be indicated more explicitly in the first section that sexual violence initially mostly referred to rape - that is at least the impression I got from the text. What do you think? Please correct me if I am wrong. Vic.nor (talk) 13:10, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments! Victoria, I totally agree. But I think sexual violence was as common during the Greek and Romans' times as it is today. The only problem is that most of the literature is focusing only on rape. I'm therefore not sure if the literature is just biased or if it was really the case that sexual violence initially just referred to rape...Ginme (talk) 14:00, 1 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand; I have faced the same challenge regarding the literature and the focus on rape. Vic.nor (talk) 14:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Gina, great job! Your overview is clear and well referenced. Only one little comment/question (also referring to your comment in my sandbox): You refer to Geneva Conventions, should you put the years since there are the Conventions of 1929 and 1949 ? Also, thank you for mentioning the Lieber Code, really interesting. As for the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals, I don't think the content overlaps with what I have, as I only mention them in a sentence. What do you think ?

Great job! I like the historical perspective very much. I want to ask you just why in the title "Codification of Laws of War on Gender related Crimes" Gender and Crimes are with capital letters? Also I found an article on War Rape in wikipedia, which you might want to link into See also in regards to your war crimes section. Nelipeuch (talk) 18:25, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
