Gang rape

19th century illustration of a gang rape by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

In scholarly literature and criminology, gang rape, also called serial gang rape, party rape, group rape, or multiple perpetrator rape,[1] is the rape of a single victim by two or more violators.[2] Gang rapes are forged on shared identity, religion, ethnic group, or race.[3][4][5] There are multiple motives for serial gang rapes, such as for sexual entitlement,[6] asserting sexual prowess,[6] war,[7][8][9][10] punishment,[6][11][12][13] and, in up to 30% of cases, for targeting racial minorities, religious minorities, or ethnic groups.[14]

Gang rapes can be part of genocidal rape or ethnic cleansing campaigns.
