Les viols génocidaires en Arménie ou en Bosnie avaient comme objectifs
de convertir la femme à l’ethnie du violeur, que ce soit par le mariage ou
la grossesse forcés. Dans les deux cas, les victimes étaient ensuite rejetées
et stigmatisées par leur communauté respective. Par conséquent, la
destruction du groupe passe, entre autres, par le corps de la femme.
Le cas bosniaque est quelque peu différent. On estime qu’entre pour les femmes arméniennes, les victimes de viols en Bosnie

génocidaire et à le présenter comme un acte perpétré contre un
membre d’un groupe dans le but de détruire ce même groupe.
Contrairement aux deux cas précédents, dans l’idéologie hutue
les femmes tutsies sont elles aussi porteuses de l’identité du
groupe. Le viol précède donc bien souvent la mise à mort. Plu-
sieurs sources rapportent les propos de Pauline Nyiramasuhuko,
ministre de la Famille et du Développement de la femme sous
le régime du président Hayarimana lors des premiers jours des
massacres : « Avant de tuer les femmes, vous devez d’abord les
violer ». Nyiramasuhuko sera quelques années plus tard la pre-
mière femme à être reconnu du crime de génocide et de crimes
contre l’humanité, notamment pour avoir incité aux viols. De
façon générale, les viols sont souvent des préludes aux massacres.
Pour celles qui survivent, la destruction ne s’arrête toutefois pas
au viol. En effet, selon des rapports récents, plusieurs génoci-
daires auraient délibérément transmis le sida aux victimes dans
le but d’infliger une mort lente et douloureuse. Selon certaines
estimations, près de 70% des survivantes du viol au Rwanda ont
contracté le V.I.H. et la plupart finiront par en mourir.
Les viols génocidaires en Arménie ou en Bosnie avaient comme
objectifs de convertir la femme à l’ethnie du violeur, que ce soit
par le mariage ou la grossesse forcés. Dans les deux cas, les
victimes étaient ensuite rejetées et stigmatisées par leur com-
munauté respective. Par conséquent, la destruction du groupe
passe, entre autres, par le corps de la femme. En revanche, l’ob-
jectif du viol des femmes tutsies au Rwanda est d’abord et avant
tout de donner la mort, que ce soit par la transmission du sida,
par la pénétration d’objets coupants ou par les viols successifs. Si
