She briefly mentions that women experience something completely different in times of war, even if they themselves are not the ones fighting.

The independent variable (participation of women in armed groups) and the dependent variable (incidents of sexual violence) are measured through quantitative and qualitative analysis, respectively, by using data on the gender composition of armed groups and reported cases of sexual violence.
