Using text, graphics and fabrics, Monica Oppen produces an extremely powerful art piece as a cry for justice for all women raped in war. A social and political commentary, When the Soldiers... makes a point to have rape listed as an official war crime in order to bring lawful punishment to those criminals.
'This book stands with the women raped in war as a cry to have rape listed as a war crime so that perpetrators can be brought to justice' (Monica Oppen, Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem catalogue).
