Published Paper Details:

History showcases each woman as submissive, inferior and weak intellectually, mentally and physically from generation to generation. The picture hasn�t changed from the scriptures to the post-modern books and still the halo around woman lingers as the �other�. When it comes to religion, each of them demands a particular subsidiary place to women and settles them as subordinate. The study attempts to analyze the treads of male chauvinism and misogyny as portrayed in Caroline Fourest�s 2019 film Soeurs D Armes. Women are mere playthings of men and in Muslim community, there are visible solid strokes of domination and patriarchy. Zara, a Yazidi girl who is abducted by ISIS army is the chief victim and object of this particular study. The preconceptions make men sturdy and well-built to battle at the front. It is impossible to think women as fighters and they are not considered fit to be called as warriors and comrade-in-arms because of their status as a �woman�. �Physically inferior� and �mentally fragile�, they are forced to remain in the four walls of their houses. Each traumatic experience the women have dealt with is constructed under microscopic precision and further how men contribute to their tragedy is also of critical importance to the paper. Men�s use of sexual violence is not only an outward contemplative action but also it can be considered as a weapon of war and armed conflict. Wartime sexual violence faced by Zara and other major female characters forms the detailed part of the paper.
