Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I explore the state’s utilization of rape as a tactic of terrorism and torture during states of emergency in the cases of both apartheid South Africa (1950-1990) and Peru during the height of Leftist insurgency, from 1980 until 1992. I propose that this rape is part of a strategy to maintain the subordination of disadvantaged social groups. In both South Africa and Peru, agents of the state used rape to punish women who associated with, who were related to, or who were themselves insurgents; to obtain information about insurgencies; to demonstrate the regime’s power; and to cower an entire disempowered ethnicity or class by raping a few of the girls or women belonging to the group. Rape is, of course, not documented as an official state policy by either government.
