Abstract	The complex and destructive Rwandan genocide involved Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups. The first war between the two tribes began in 1959 due to the Hutu's administrative power and the Tutsi's growing might. Hutu refugees were sent to Burundi and Zaire. There was extensive violence during the 1994 genocide, with between 100,000 and 250,000 women being raped. In Rwanda, wives had few privileges and were recognized as the formal heads of their houses by their husbands. Genocide is defined as the combination of intentional mental and physical acts. After being raped, some survivors learned they had HIV/AIDS. Unwanted pregnancies were common due to forced marriage and servitude. Abortion was illegal in Rwanda, which made it challenging for some women to get abortions at home. Treating sexual assault as a war crime instead of a side effect of warfare is stressed by the UN Special Representative on Sexual assault in Conflict.
