Several basic things are needed to help with prevention of some of this:
single stall locking latrines,
solar flood lights with motion detectors in the latrine and out of it
either solar or give a shake flashlights that never require batteries for each female
these are equipment articles that can help...no not solve,,yes more protection is necessary,,,more female soldiers are needed to protect the women...however...some simple deterrents can help a little at least.

many women are bieng ,,,raped on their way to and from a place they have gone to to use the bathroom or take care of sanitary needs.

in ref to my comment regarding washable sanitary items:

check out Luna Pads and Luna kits...
women who earn a dollar a day during good times can not afford 6 dollars for tampons or disposables...however....luna pads,,and some mild detergent can last longer and is not a recurring expense.
