Abstract

The dominant narrative dealing with crimes of violence against Muslim women in both the Europe and the Middle East employs strikingly similar strategies, motifs, and symbols, especially when it comes to the issue of rape. Such similarities beg the question: to what extent is the discourse on rape part of the problem of acts of violence against women?
