Conflict-Related Violence against Women: Transforming Transition
di
Aisling Swaine - Cambridge University press, 2018
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.
