Produktinformationen zu „Sexual Violence and Armed Conflict / War and Conflict in the Modern World (ePub)“
Every year, hundreds of thousands of women become victims of sexual
violence in conflict zones around the world; in the Democratic
Republic of Congo alone, approximately 1,100 rapes are reported
each month.
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the causes,
consequences and responses to sexual violence in contemporary armed
conflict. It explores the function and effect of wartime sexual
violence and examines the conditions that make women and girls most
vulnerable to these acts both before, during and after conflict. To
understand the motivations of the men (and occasionally women) who
perpetrate this violence, the book analyzes the role played by
systemic and situational factors such as patriarchy and militarized
masculinity. Difficult questions of accountability are tackled; in
particular, the case of child soldiers, who often suffer a double
victimization when forced to commit sexual atrocities. The book
concludes by looking at strategies of prevention and protection as
well as new programs being set up on the ground to support the
rehabilitation of survivors and their communities. Sexual violence
in war has long been a taboo subject but, as this book shows, new
and courageous steps are at last being taken D at both local
and international level - to end what has been called the
"greatest silence in history".
