Ono Scholar Publishes Book on Genocide and the Sexual Abuse of Women
Ono Academic College’s School of the Humanities and Social Sciences congratulates Dr. Naomi Halbertal Landau on the occasion of the publication of her book: “In the Jaws of the Patriarchy” which deals with genocide and the sexual abuse of women.
For many years, Armenian, Yazidi, Tutsi and Bosnian women were victims of systematic rape, as part of the practice of genocide. Through research that included interviews with women who were victims of genocide, Dr. Halbertal Landau investigates the horrifying phenomenon that is becoming more prevalent these days. She demonstrates its roots and consequences. The book presents the phenomenon, on all its levels and its effect on society as a whole.
The book is a shocking historical study and a painful indictment of anyone who has allowed these horrors to happen and/or chooses to remain silent.
