The operation was codenamed Anfal, which literally means 'the spoils of war'. For the survivors of this campaign, Anfal did not end in September 1988: the aftermath of this catastrophe is as much a part of the Anfal story as the gas attacks, disappearances, and life in the camps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGendered Experiences of Genocide\u003c\/em\u003e examines Kurdish women's experience of violence, destruction, the disappearance of loved ones, and incarceration during the Anfal campaign. It explores the survival strategies of these women in the aftermath of genocide.
