largely focussed on the sexual enslavement of women
and girls, but the barbarous gender-based assaults on
women as well as men are an integral part of the
group’s campaign of genocide to eradicate a religious
minority. This article explores the essential role that
gender plays in the planning and commission of the
crime of genocide. By examining the genocides that have

the Bosnian Muslims, it seeks to illuminates the interplay
between gender and genocide and how this affects how
genocides are conceived and carried out for maximum
destructive effect on the victim group.
