Abstract

The last twenty years have brought about a
significant increase in the awareness of war
practices that harm women, including rape and
sexual abuse. However, focusing on women
alone is not sufficient if gendered and racialised
power hierarchies in the civilian and military
worlds are to be understood. Experiences from
international peacekeeping since 2000
foreground the need for an intersectional lens
to examine how systems of power, including
gender, race, North-South axes, age, class and
religion, co-exist and interact with each other
