A primary objective
of education today, in homes, in schools, and through the mass media
of communication, should be the full and forceful dissemination
of knowledge about the extreme destructiveness
of modern
weapons of war and about the
awful consequences for everybody which would result from their use in any large - scale conflict.
This was at a time when the Foreign Office under William Hague was making a big fanfare about challenging rape as a
weapon of war, but the Home Office was routinely deporting women seeking asylum who had endured this
awful crime.
