Abstract

“Two Women” (Vittorio De Sica, 1960) is an italian neorealist production that exposes the various difficulties faced by a mother when protecting her daughter from the dangers of war, among which rape, which is intensified in these conflicting periods, stands out. The sexual violation committed in times of war portrayed in the cinematographic work is used as a background for the development of this article, in which the qualitative method was used, through bibliographical and documentary review, promoting the contextual analysis of the work and highlighting its legal and sociocultural aspects, based on the intersection between law and film, addressing the conditions of visuality and visibility. The narrative concerns of the film work raise the issue of the scope of international criminal law to protect the dignity of victims of war rapes in its entirety, beyond a concept of family honor. The objective is to conceptualize and locate the various forms of violence and sexual violations against women committed in times of war, highlighting their state of the art in light of the provisions of International Humanitarian Law, as well as the female condition in light of the manifestations of hegemonic male domination.
