The Story of Rape and War -- Sadly Maybe a Very Old Story

I am reposting this painting which was of a rape victim of Sudan, because I recently heard on the radio of yet another story of a war in Africa where the violence included the systematic rape of the enemy's women. 

If they survive the combat this leaves them damaged to their culture and isolated in so many ways.

They become alone.  I appropriated from Sorolla in this painting -- his painting was The Blind Man of Toledo -- also an isolated, almost a raving character.  Certainly alone.
