This document presents a study on conflict related violence against women transforming transition. By comparatively assessing three conflict-affected jurisdictions (Liberia, Northern Ireland, and Timor-Leste), Conflict-Related Violence Against Women empirically and theoretically expands current understanding of the form and nature of conflict-time harms impacting women. The “violences” that occur in conflict beyond strategic rapeare first identified. Employing both a disaggregated and an aggregated approach, relations between forms of violence within and across each context’s pre-, mid-, and postconflict phase are then assessed, identifying connections and distinctions in violence. Swaine highlights a wider spectrum of conflict-related violence against women than is currently acknowledged. She identifies a range of forces that simultaneously push open and close down spaces for addressing violence against women through post-conflict transitional justice. The book proposes that in the aftermath of conflict, a transformation rather than a transition is required if justice is to play a role in preventing gendered violence before conflict and its appearance during and after conflict.
This document presents a Manual and Toolkit for Researchers and Practitioners on gender-based violence, monitoring and evaluation with refugee and conflict- affected populations. This manual and the associated practitioner toolkit form a comprehensive
package to support researchers and members of the humanitarian community in conducting ethical and technically sound research, monitoring and/or evaluation (RME) on gender-based violence (GBV) within refugee and conflict-affected populations. The manual’s step-by-step approach enables readers to make appropriate ethical and methodological decisions when collecting data with refugee and other vulnerable populations. In addition, the practitioner’s toolkit provides data collection tools, templates and other resources that can be used in the field to enhance data collection and analysis efforts.
