Genocidal Rape is defined as a systematically organized military tactic of terror and genocide.
The first two World Wars produced extensive documentation of sexual violence associated with the conquering of enemy territory. Soviet Armies engaged in systematic raping of German women as it moved towards Berlin(Milillo, 2006) .Within the events in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, sexual assault became an ordered act, qualitatively different from the opportunistic and retaliatory rapes recorded in these conflicts.
In the former Rwanda, Cote D'Ivorie, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Darfur region of Somalia, domestic conflict has produced widespread rape scenarios that go beyond men merely satisfying their immediate sexual desires in a forceful demonstration.

Ethnic Cleansing is a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.
The motive for halting women'ssecurity is part of the larger goal of ethnic cleansing. Ethnic cleansing attacks the reproductive roles ofwomen as the carriers of culture. By harming and shaming women out of marriage and motherhood, the conquering group may believe that they are working toward the elimination of that social group.
