Struggling to survive: Barriers to justice for rape victims in Rwanda

Legal redress for victims of sexual violence during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda

Produced by: Human Rights Watch (HRW) 2004

This report examines the Rwandan government efforts to ensure legal redress and medical assistance and counseling to Rwandan women who were victims of sexual violence during the 1994. It also sheds light on the continuing problem of sexual violence in Rwanda and demonstrates that the victims face obstacles to accountability and health care similar to those faced by women and girls who suffered sexual violence during the genocide.
