During World War II. Male and female civilians may be subject to torture, but war rape is more frequently perpetrated on women than men. Sexual violence in warfare is frequently perpetrated against women and children, and the perpetrators of sexual assault "commonly include not only enemy civilians and troops but also allied and national civilians and even comrades in arms."

The victims of war rape are usually "civilians", a notion that was only recognized in the 19th century. Before that military circles supported the notion that all persons, including unarmed women and children, were still the enemy, with the belligerent having conquering rights over them. Although war rape of women is documented throughout history, laws protecting civilians in armed conflict has tended not to recognise sexual assault on women. Even when laws of war have recognised and forbidden sexual assault, few prosecutions have been brought.

Dignity is a term used in moral, ethical, and political discussions to signify that a being has an innate right to respect and ethical treatment. It is an extension of enlightenment-era beliefs that individuals have God-given, inviolable rights, and thus is closely related to concepts like virtue, respect, self-respect, autonomy, human rights, and enlightened reason.
