Rape during the Syrian civil war was used as a strategy throughout the Syrian conflict by pro government supporters,^[1] members of the Free Syrian Army,^[2] and militants fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. According to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) rape has been a "significant and disturbing feature" during the conflict,^[3] and the primary reason given for 600,000 women fleeing the war zone is fear of sexual assault. For the background and legal content use the prosecution of Syrian civil war criminals. Human Rights Watch have requested that the United Nations Security Council refer Syria to the International Criminal Court.^[4]
