First systematic review on the health consequences of war-related sexual violence on civilians. Twenty studies were found, with research mainly in Africa. Rapes and gang rapes are salient features with female and male victims. Common physical outcomes included pregnancy, traumatic genital injuries, fistulae, sexual dysfunction and STDs. Mental outcomes included PTSD, anxiety, and depression; while the main social outcomes were rejection and spousal abandonment. There is limited precise, valid, systematic data documenting the scope, frequency and consequences of war-related sexual violence.
