Rape during the Vietnam War (original) (raw)
Rape during the Vietnam War, as well as other acts of wartime sexual violence, was committed against Vietnamese civilians by military personnel from the United States, South Korea, and other combatants. According to American academic Elisabeth Jean Wood, wartime rape was frequently committed by U.S. troops because their commanders tolerated them. Weaver stated that not only were documented crimes against Vietnamese women by United States military personnel ignored during the international legal discourse which occurred immediately after the war, modern feminists and other anti-war rape campaigners, as well as historians, have continued to dismiss them.

| dbo:abstract | Rape during the Vietnam War, as well as other acts of wartime sexual violence, was committed against Vietnamese civilians by military personnel from the United States, South Korea, and other combatants. According to American academic Elisabeth Jean Wood, wartime rape was frequently committed by U.S. troops because their commanders tolerated them. Weaver stated that not only were documented crimes against Vietnamese women by United States military personnel ignored during the international legal discourse which occurred immediately after the war, modern feminists and other anti-war rape campaigners, as well as historians, have continued to dismiss them. Some American veterans believe that sexual violence against Vietnamese women was motivated by "racism, sexism, or a combination of both," as a result of the strong social movements that were roiling the United States in the early 1970s. According to one source, only twenty-five cases of rape committed by United States Army personnel and sixteen by United States Marines resulted in court-martial convictions involving Vietnamese victims from 1965 to 1973. Political controversies over children who were conceived as a result of rapes of Vietnamese women by South Korean military personnel continue to plague Vietnamese and South Korean society because the children continue to be subjected to discriminatory treatment by the Vietnamese government and their presence in South Korea is unacknowledged by the South Korean government. In the Vietnamese language, a racially mixed child who was born to a South Korean father and a Vietnamese mother during the war is known as a Lai Dai Han (lai Đại Hàn in Vietnamese: pronounced [laːi ɗâˀi hâːn]; Korean: 라이따이한). The extent of the rapes is still debated; one study determined that over half of Lai Dai Han births had resulted from rape. (en) |

| dbp:quote | Some critics have suggested that gang rapes were a “horrifyingly common occurrence” during the war, in part because American soldiers and marines carried out a systematic, deliberate command policy of violence against the Vietnamese population. (en) |
