By comparatively assessing three conflict-affected jurisdictions
(Liberia, Northern Ireland and Timor-Leste), Conflict-Related
Violence against Women empirically and theoretically expands
current understanding of the form and nature of conflict-time harms
impacting women. The 'violences' that occur in conflict beyond
strategic rape are first identified. Employing both a disaggregated
and an aggregated approach, relations between forms of violence
within and across each context's pre-, mid- and post-conflict phase
are then assessed, identifying connections and distinctions in
violence. Swaine highlights a wider spectrum of conflict-related
violence against women than is currently acknowledged. She
identifies a range of forces that simultaneously push open and
close down spaces for addressing violence against women through
post-conflict transitional justice. The book proposes that in the
aftermath of conflict, a transformation rather than a transition is
required if justice is to play a role in preventing gendered
violence before conflict and its appearance during and after
conflict.
