Sexualized violence in war: How can it be prevented?

    Activity: Talk or Presentation › Presentation/Speaker at conference, seminar, workshop etc.

    Description

    News of Russian soldiers raping Ukrainian women has again brought wartime sexual violence to the public attention. While research emerging after the war rapes in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda in the 1990's looked for mono-causal explanations, new research focuses on the armed organizations and distinguishes between top-down and bottom-up dynamics of violence.
