As the world embrace technology and the need to protect its economic interests through peace, a lot is being ignored in terms of family values and stability in the society. In the event of fighting their enemies, government leaders are ignoring an important aspect of humanity, which mostly affects the women. The need to enhance security has made men and women in the army to be subject to psychological torture, which unfortunately they suffer in silence. Incidences of young men who are mentally disturbed especially after returning from war have become serious in United States. Furthermore, soldiers that are deployed to maintain peace turn into wolves, raping innocent women, some whom they are meant to protect. These are some of the issues that are usually ignored by the government especially when it comes to handling war consequences.
There has however been secret movement of women that is advocating for humanitarian rights of the victims. Women movements have been significant in transforming the society by highlighting on the issues that are mostly ignored by the government. In the latest trend, women groups have stood against actions being done by soldiers and to the soldiers in the name of maintaining. There is no point of the country bragging about how they have managed to capture a certain area when the very people that were involved are subjected to a lifetime of trauma. There is something more that the government can do to ensure high level of integrity is maintained by the military personnel as well as offering medical support to the ex soldiers. It is unfortunate that the people that are mostly affected are women who may not be directly involved in the war. They not only have to nurse wounds directly inflicted on them but also nurse their sons, husbands and even daughters who ultimately turn to them after being dumped by the government they diligently worked for.
