Can rape and sexual violence in war be prevented?

BBC World Service - Weekend, Can rape and sexual violence in war be prevented?

Leaders to meet In London to discuss preventing rape and sexual violence in war

Rape and sexual assault are considered war crimes and a breach of international humanitarian law. But can these crimes be prevented?

As leaders from around the world meet this coming week in London to try to find ways of preventing sexual violence in war, we hear from two women with decades of experience in working with survivors of this crime - Baroness Arminka Helic and the former UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Margot Mallstrom -  about what can be done to prevent it.

Also in the programme: the producer of the Netflix documentary "FIFA Uncovered", Miles Coleman, tells us what he uncovered about the process behind the granting of the current World Cup in Qatar.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Golnar Motevalli, she's a senior reporter with Bloomberg based in London and Jeremy Shapiro, research director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank based in Berlin.
