    I was thinking while reading, yes this is awful, but is this news? Kind of a water is wet statement.

      It’s always worth talking about though because there’s a lot of disinterest and downplaying of it.

      The charities for women raped in wars deal with a lot of problems like operations for incontinence, and women who have had a hole punched through from their rectum into the vagina and have constant infections and fecal matter dribbling out through it, etc etc.

      It’s often extremely violent and can cause permanent physical damage. But because it mainly happens to women and children, it’s sort of hand-waved.
