WOMEN’S
BODIES AS
BATTLEFIELD

Ethiopia
The targeting of women’s bodies
in times of war, but also in times
of peace, has come to light as a
systematic strategy that has been
used by different actors in many
different contexts worldwide. This
project has analyzed the condition of
Eritrean and Tigrinya women who moved
across the borders of three countries
geopolitically linked to one another:
Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Sudan. From 2017
to 2019, the work has documented
Eritrean women fleeing from one of the
most repressive regimes in the world
and seeking refuge in Ethiopia. From
November 2020, following the invasion
of Tigray (Ethiopia) by the Ethiopian
Federal Army supported by the Eritrean
military forces and Amhara militia, the
project’s focus has broadened to include
also the Tigrinya women, who joined
Eritrean women in their escape from
Ethiopia to Sudan. In Tigray, the Eritrean
army used sexual violence as a weapon
of war against both Eritrean and Tigrinya
women: to punish those fleeing their
country in the former case, and as an act
of extermination in the latter. The bodies
of women became a battlefield on which
there are no sides.
