An international four-day summit on how to end sexual violence during war is taking place in London. The organisers say they want the summit to be the moment the world wakes up and declares that sexual violence is not an inevitable part of war. And Dan Plesch, from the War Crimes project at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, says successful prosecutions of sexual violence have happened as long ago as World War Two.
