This book examines Australia's and United States' ability to prosecute their peacekeepers for sexual exploitation and abuse. The United Nations has too long been plagued by sexual exploitation and abuse in some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Discussion within United Nations' reporting and academic scholarship focuses on policy ; however, a significant concern outlined here is that peacekeepers are committing sexual offences with impunity, despite exclusive criminal jurisdiction over peacekeepers being granted to their sending states. In this original study the author provides an in-depth, feminist analysis of US and Australian sexual offending law and jurisdiction over their military and military-civilian peacekeepers. Based on timely critical analysis, this book demonstrates the limitations states face in ensuring accountability for sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers - a factor which directly contributes to ongoing commission of and impunity for such offences.

In armed conflict, systematic sexual violence is used all too frequently as a strategic weapon to terrorize an opponent's communities. Wartime sexual violence has transitioned rapidly from a neglected human rights issue to an unambiguous security concern on the agendas of powerful states and the United Nations Security Council. What has caused this transition, and what are its impacts ? The author investigates through interviews and primary-source evidence the political impetuses for this change and the results of the securitization of sexual violence. Crawford explains how change started in the 1990s with the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and then accelerated in the 2000s. Three case studies - the United States' response to sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1820 in 2008, and the development of the United Kingdom's Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative - illustrate that use of the weapon of war frame does not represent pure cooptation by the security sector. Rather, well-placed advocates have used the frame to push the anti-sexual violence agenda while simultaneously working to move beyond the frame's constraints.

In Our Bodies, Their Battlefields, longtime intrepid war correspondent Christina Lamb makes us witness to the lives of women in wartime. An award-winning war correspondent for twenty-five years (she's never had a female editor) Lamb reports two wars--the "bang-bang" war and the story of how the people behind the lines live and survive. At the same time, since men usually act as the fighters, women are rarely interviewed about their experience of wartime, other than as grieving widows and mothers, though their experience is markedly different from that of the men involved in battle. Lamb chronicles extraordinary tragedy and challenges in the lives of women in wartime. And none is more devastating than the increase of the use of rape as a weapon of war. Visiting warzones including the Congo, Rwanda, Nigeria, Bosnia, and Iraq, and spending time with the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar, she records the harrowing stories of survivors, from Yazidi girls kept as sex slaves by ISIS fighters and the beekeeper risking his life to rescue them; to the thousands of schoolgirls abducted across northern Nigeria by Boko Haram, to the Congolese gynecologist who stitches up more rape victims than anyone on earth. Told as a journey, and structured by country, Our Bodies, Their Battlefields gives these women voice.

Sexual violence is a particular brand of evil that women have endured—more than men—during armed conflicts, through the ages. It is a menace that has continued to challenge the conscience of humanity—especially in our times. At the international level, basic laws aimed at preventing it are not in short supply. What is needed is a more conscious determination to enforce existing laws. This book explores ways of doing just that; thereby shoring up international legal protection of women from sexual violence in armed conflicts.

Non, la haine et la violence ne sont pas inscrites dans les gènes des peuples des Grands Lacs! Mais que penser de ces images en provenance de l’Est du Congo, de cette guerre qui a pris un nouveau visage, celui de la barbarie, de la cruauté gratuite? Avec les femmes comme principales victimes: violées, mutilées, terrorisées.Depuis quinze ans, Denis Mukwege, médecin-chef à l’hôpital de Panzi (Sud-Kivu), fait face à une urgence qui dure: vagins détruits et âmes mortes. Le gynécologue coud et répare. A mains nues, il se bat contre le viol, cette arme de guerre qui mine toute une société. Son combat lui vaut une large reconnaissance internationale, dont le prix des droits de l’homme en France et le prix Roi Baudouin pour le développement 2011.Plongeant le lecteur dans ce Kivu paradisiaque devenu un enfer, ce livre doit sa force aux regards croisés de deux témoins de premier plan: Colette Braeckman, une journaliste passionnée par le Congo, qui revient d’abord sur les séquences du désastre. Un rappel historique indispensable. Elle nous invite ensuite à démêler les mobiles des seigneurs de la guerre, fait écho à la souffrance des femmes, leur rend hommage... Sa plume «trahit» sa colère, son écoeurement, sa compassion. Parfois désenchantée et révoltée, mais jamais fataliste. Denis Mukwege, au premier plan, vit ces horreurs de l’intérieur. Avec lui, c’est bien sûr le médecin qui parle, mais très vite l’homme, le citoyen s’exprime. Ses réflexions complètent à merveille le récit hallucinant de l’auteur. Le résultat : un ouvrage original et puissant… (Bron: covertekst)
