Abstract	Christina Lamb's Our Bodies and Their Battlefields offers a compelling and urgent examination of the systemic use of sexual violence during conflict and its enduring impact on survivors. This study explores the interconnected themes of healing, resistance, social change, and transgenerational trauma as reflected in Lamb’s testimonies of women across global war zones. Drawing on trauma theory and feminist critique, the paper investigates how survivors reclaim agency through narrative, activism, and community solidarity. It also addresses the failures of legal and institutional systems in responding to wartime rape, emphasizing the necessity of structural reform and collective acknowledgment. The work further delves into the psychological transmission of trauma across generations, illustrating how violence echoes through families and societies. Ultimately, the essay positions these narratives not only as evidence of victimization but as powerful acts of resistance and catalysts for social and legal transformation.
