abstract="In war zones, militarism intensifies women's subordination and violence against females escalates. It is often assumed that once women have fled the conflict zones of their homelands to &quot;safe havens&quot; in a neighboring country, security will prevail. Insecurity and violence, however, often intensify. In foreign refugee camps changes take place in the core relationships between women and men, and the legal and societal rules and laws that prevail in the home country break down. Thus, refugee women are often further victimized once they flee into foreign lands.<p />",
