Myanmar Rape as Weapon

Myanmar's transition to democracy following five decades of brutal military rule has won widespread international praise, but rights groups say little has changed in resource-rich border areas, where the army continues to grapple with stubborn ethnic insurgencies. As in the past, the use of sexual violence against civilians is widespread and systematic, said Tin Tin Nyo, general secretary of the Women's League of Burma. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe, File)
