Rape in War
PHR is part of the international movement to end the use of rape as a weapon of war and works with local partners to do so. PHR seeks to train doctors, nurses, and lawyers so that they may document evidence of rape and use the evidence in court; raise awareness about cultures of impunity that allow women to be raped, or excommunicate and shame women who have been raped; and enable reparation and justice for victims.

Famous quotes containing the word war:
“The truth is, the whole administration under Roosevelt was demoralized by the system of dealing directly with subordinates. It was obviated in the State Department and the War Department under [Secretary of State Elihu] Root and me [Taft was the Secretary of War], because we simply ignored the interference and went on as we chose.... The subordinates gained nothing by his assumption of authority, but it was not so in the other departments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
