In addition to sexual harassment and violence within the ranks, Vásquez, Ibáñez, and Murguialday (1996) and two interviewees from this project reported sexual exploitation by responsables. None seemed to believe that the problem was endemic, but both of the interviewees suggested that exploitative relationships with senior officers happened with some frequency. Both women and men whom I interviewed occasionally suggested that intragroup sexual violence and harassment was in effect a substitute for sexual violence and harassment toward civilian women.

What of the ERP? Fewer female ERP cadres than FPL cadres reported sexual violence and harassment; the complexities associated with the FPL’s extremely restrictive early policies on fraternization were entirely absent from these interviews. Across the FMLN, however, the consensus among my interview subjects formed around the difficulties of applying progressive teachings on gender to recruits who had grown up in a society with extraordinarily restrictive gender roles.
