Essays on Gender in Peace and Conflict

The book is a compilation of essays that examine the connotations of Gender in peace and conflict in particular scenarios, focusing largely on understanding sexual violence and gender-based violence. What is obscure, and perhaps little considered in the strategies developed to tackle sexual violence, is that it is as rooted in peacetime as it is in wartime. Gender violence is ubiquitous and exists as a phenomenon in a "continuum" of sorts between peacetime and wartime.
