My article on women's political mobilization in response to conflict-related sexual violence is #openaccess this month. A reminder that women play active roles in resistance. Below follows a selection of great work on #CRSV, #VAW and women's resistance #orangetheworld

On how victims of conflict-related sexual violence in Bosnia view and situate their experiences - at the intersection of gender and identity - read Inger Skjelsbæk. Various instances of detrimental effects and resilience/ resistance coexist: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0959353506068746
On women's resilience and resistance to violence in war more broadly read @marieeberry's amazing book "War, Women, and Power: From Violence to Mobilization in Rwanda and Bosnia-Herzegovina" and her article: https://mobilizationjournal.org/doi/abs/10.17813/1086-671X-20-2-135
And @JZulver's fascinating article on women's feminist resistance in the City of Women in northern Colombia: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0966369X.2017.1387105
Not to be missed on the theme of women's mobilization against conflict and (gender-based) violence is also Aili M. Tripp's book "Women and Power in Postconflict Africa": https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/women-and-power-in-postconflict-africa/E27094811790564894080B202C0C254F
On the topic of violence against women generally, few works have had a stronger impact on me and have been more revelatory than Liz Kelly's book "Surviving Sexual Violence", which exposes the linkages between gender discrimination and VAW: https://www.wiley.com/en-se/Surviving+Sexual+Violence-p-9780745667430
Structural factors like gender inequality also matter in the perpetration of conflict-related sexual violence. As feminist scholars remind us, there is a continuum of violence that extends peace/ the everyday and war: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14616742.2017.1367950?journalCode=rfjp20
Similarly, there is no clear-cut dividing line between the private and the public, between "domestic" and "conflict-related" sexual violence in situations of war, as @DrHarrietGray reminds us: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1369148118802470?journalCode=bpia
Nor does sexual violence end with war. In fact, research by @GudrunOstby M. Leiby and @ragnhildnordas shows that intimate partner violence in post-conflict Peru was higher in those parts of the country where conflict violence had been more pronounced: https://academic.oup.com/isq/article-abstract/63/1/1/5290058.
This is a strong reminder to, as @DaviesSaraE & @JacquiTrue note, "bring gender analysis back in" when we study, discuss and try to find solutions to conflict-related sexual violence: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0967010615601389?journalCode=sdib
By contrast, focusing only on sexual violence in conflict as a problem of law - rather than being grounded in structural gender inequalities - is insufficient. On this, read @frkhouge and @kjerstilohne: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/lasr.12294
And, for the quantitative-minded amongst us, the most comprehensive cross-national data collection effort on CRSV is the Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict dataset (SVAC) by D. Cohen & @ragnhildnordas: http://www.sexualviolencedata.org/dataset/
Of course, this is just a snapshot of all the interesting research that is being done on conflict-related sexual violence & violence against women in war. Feel free to add your own and others' work to the thread.
