Practice Relating to Rule 134. Women
Peru’s IHL Manual (2004) states:
Women must be treated with all the regard due to their sex and in all cases benefit by treatment as favourable as that granted to men. This means that due attention must be given to their physical resistance, the need to protect their honour and intimacy and special requirements relating to biological factors, such as menstruation and pregnancy.
