Abstract | This chapter explores the enslavement of women as a genocidal strategy against Armenian and Yazidi communities during genocides a century apart. It outlines strategies targeted against women and girls within the context of enslavement, including sexual violence and trafficking, forced marriage and pregnancy, and forced conversion and assimilation. It also highlights ideological factors underpinning these gendered and strategic tactics, designed to destroy the group’s biological, cultural and social infrastructure. |
