The range of possible injuries girls experience includes uterine prolapses (the descent of the uterus into the vagina or beyond), vesico-vaginal or<br />
recto-vaginal fistulas and other injuries to the reproductive system or rectum, often accompanied by internal and external bleeding and discharge.<br />
Fistulas may lead to further complications in the form of urinary or faecal incontinence. Véronique Aubert with Alison Holder (2013) Unspeakable<br />

Data from a report by Alastair Hilton (June 2013) The Lost Boys: Sexual violence against boys and men, War Child states the following: Research<br />
from conflict zones in Africa and Sri Lanka also highlights considerable numbers of men having experienced sexual violence. In Liberia, 36 per cent<br />
of male ex-combatants report experiencing sexual violence in a study carried out in 2006, whilst in El Salvador, just over three quarters of male<br />
political prisoners surveyed in the 1980s described at least one incidence of sexual torture. In the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s, 80% of 5,000<br />
inmates in the Sarajevo Canton detention centre were raped. Save the Children’s report Unspeakable Crimes Against Children: Sexual violence in<br />
conflict, written by Véronique Aubert with Alison Holder in 2013 mentions a study in DRC that found that 9% of all men surveyed directly experienced<br />
sexual violence during the conflict.<br />

There is an under-reporting of rape and sexual violence in general, due to shame and cultural barriers. This is even worse for men and boys as a<br />
result of shame, confusion, guilt, fear and stigma. The notion of being a “victim” is also not compatible with notions of masculinity perpetuated in<br />
many cultures. See Sandesh Sivakumaran (2007) Sexual Violence Against Men in Armed Conflict, The European Journal of International Law Vol. 18<br />
no. 2. In addition in some states same sex acts are criminalised, which may increase fear of reporting still further as men and boys will have concerns<br />
they could be held responsible for the crime. See Dr Chris Dolan (14 May 2014) Into the Mainstream: Addressing Sexual Violence Against Men and<br />
Boys in Conflict: A briefing paper prepared for the workshop held at the Overseas Development Institute<br />
