Sexual violence in the Algerian War was committed by the French army against both FLN/ALN members and Algerian civilians.[1][2][3][4] Victims included men, women, and even children.[1][4] In contrast to torture, which has been extensively documented and studied by historians, sexual violence has remained for a long time a taboo subject, for both Algerian and French sides.[3] It was not until the early 2000s that the subject was approached by historians and journalists.[1][5] This effort has been limited by the scarcity of archives related to sexual violence, as well as the lack of testimonials of either the victims or the authors of crimes.[1]
