             I. Women, Sex and War.

             In the work entitled "It Takes More Than Two: The Prostitute, the Soldier, the State and the Entrepreneur" the author Cynthia Enloe tells of how women are treated in the rendition of how a war museum could be created from what had been witnessed. The following excerpt graphically relates the way of men in their treatment of women. Stated is:" In my war museum there would be a reconstruction of military brothel. It would show rooms for officers and rooms for rank and file soldiers. It would display separate doors for white soldiers and black soldiers.The women serving the soldiers might be white European, Berber, Namibian, or Puerto Rican; they might be Korean, Filipina, Japanese, Vietnamese, African-American, or Indian. Depending on the era and locale, they could be dressed in sarongs, saris, or miniskirts topped with T-shirts memorializing resort beaches, soft drinks, and aircraft carriers.War - and militarized peace - are occasions when sexual relations take on particular meanings." .

             In many of the countries mentioned above girls once having reached puberty are sold to brothels and then forced to sell their body to men. This practice began originally in the initiative to make income off military men stationed in these countries, and sadly, most of them being American. Many are the young men who arrive in countries such as the Philippines to be tempted by the sexual diversions and perversions available. The ideas and enforcements of what defines masculinity and femininity is the root of the problem which exists. The following statistics must be given consideration.
