physicians and a review of medical records from six major medical centres in Zagreb,
Sarajevo, Zenica and Belgrade, the team of experts was able to identify 119
pregnancies resulting from rape during 1992 [p. 64]….If the documented cases
of pregnancy due to rape represent one quarter of the actual number of rape-associated
pregnancies in the populations served by the visited hospitals, and if each
pregnant women experienced an average of 20 incidents of rape, then the 119
documented cases [of pregnancy due to rape] would reflect the experience of almost
2,400 women [p. 75].”
