This week Law and Order:SVU featured a story line regarding the rape of women during the current conflict in the Congo. This is an interesting intersection of popular culture and the phenomenon of rape during wartime. The SVU series has long been a curious dichotomy between our society's revulsion regarding sexual violence and its desire voyeuristically examine it. Mariska Hargitay, the star of the series wrote a companion piece that explores the origins of the conflict.
