Sexual violence against men is an under-theorised and under-noticed
topic, though it is becoming increasingly apparent that this form
of violence is widespread. Yet despite emerging evidence
documenting its incidence, especially in conflict and post-conflict
zones, efforts to understand its causes and develop strategies to
reduce it are hampered by a dearth of theoretical engagement. One
of the reasons that might explain its empirical invisibility and
theoretical vacuity is its complicated relationship with sexual
violence against women. The latter is evident empirically,
theoretically, and politically, but the relationship between these
violences conjures a range of complex and controversial questions
about the ways they might be different, and why and how these
differences matter. It is the case that sexual violence (when
noticed at all) has historically been understood to happen largely,
if not only, to women, allegedly because of their gender and their
ensuing place in gender orders. This begs important questions
regarding the impact of increasing knowledge about sexual violence
against men, including the impact on resources, on understandings
about, and experiences of masculinity, and whether the idea and
practice of gender hierarchy is outdated. This book engages this
diverse set of questions and offers fresh analysis on the
incidences of sexual violence against men using both new and
existing data. Additionally, the authors pay close attention to
some of the controversial debates in the context of sexual violence
against men, revisiting and asking new questions about the vexed
issue of masculinities and related theories of gender hierarchy.
The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sex,
gender, masculinities, corporeality, violence, and global politics,
as well as to practitioners and activists.
