"A woman, who dares to denounce violence and abuses she is suffering, is considered rude. Moreover, these social norms make women afraid to denounce what happens to them, for fear of being stigmatized in society and being considered deviants. 'Whenever a man beats, injures, or breaks his wife’s arm or leg in Burundi, he is only punished by being advised not to repeat the act. As for the victim, her mother, older sisters, and aunts advise her to keep it a secret so as not to tarnish her couple’s image explaining to her ‘we too have always suffered the same thing’,' explains Inés Kidasharira, a women’s rights journalist.

For the timeframe 2020 to present, no public information was found on prosecutions of Burundian soldiers accused of raping or sexually assaulting fellow service members. No military court cases, conviction rates, or data on cases being dropped or dismissed were found. Although the military provides training on discipline, human rights, and gender-based violence, it does not publicly report how internal sexual assault complaints are handled. Therefore, it is not possible to determine how often these cases are prosecuted in Burundi (MR-CODER COMMENT).

For the timeframe 2020 to present, no public reports, testimonies, or statistics were found on Burundian soldiers raping or sexually assaulting other Burundian or allied service members. Women serve alongside men in the Burundi National Defence Force, including in overseas missions, so there is still some potential for intra-military sexual assault. However, the available sources do not provide case numbers, assault rates, or estimates of unreported cases.
