This book brings together a unique blend of researchers, civil
society and community activists all working on different aspects of
conflict sexual violence on the African continent. The
contributions included here offer a detailed reading of the social
and political climate within which some patterns of sexual violence
unfold, and the increased policy and institutional responses
shaping post-conflict environments. The chapters are organized
around three main themes: the continuities between conflict sexual
violence and post-conflict insecurity; the troubling category of
"victim" and its representation in post-conflict settings; and the
international contexts - such as international programming, aid and
justice interventions - that shape how conflict sexual violence is
addressed. The authors come to the topic from various academic
disciplines - anthropology, gender studies, law, and psychology -
and from different non-academic contexts, including civil society
organizations in affected regions, and policy and activist
organizations in the Global North. Collectively the chapters in
this volume offer complex and detailed analysis of some of the
debates and dynamics shaping contemporary understandings of
conflict sexual violence, highlighting, in turn, new insights and
emerging topics on which further research and advocacy is needed.
