The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been called the 'worst
place in the world' for women, with reports of widespread and
horrific incidents of rape and sexual violence and almost complete
impunity for the perpetrators of such violence. However, despite
the high profile media reporting on sexual violence in the DRC, and
the widely publicized responses of the international community,
there is still very little real analysis of the real situation of
women in the country. This book provides such detailed analysis of
gender relations in the DRC, and goes beyond the usual explanations
of sexual violence as a product of conflict, to examine the complex
and socially constructed gender norms and roles which underlie
incidences of violence. The book benefits from a comprehensive
account of men's and women's roles in conflict, violence, peace
building and reconstruction, and evaluates the impacts of national
and international political responses. In doing so, this book
provides valuable new evidence and analysis of the complex and
multilayered conflicts in the DRC.
