Sexual Violence During War and Peace: Gender, Power, and Post-Conflict Justice in Peru

By Jelke Boesten

Using the Peruvian internal armed conflict as a case study, this book examines wartime rape and how it reproduces and reinforces existing hierarchies. Jelke Boesten argues that effective responses to sexual violence in wartime are conditional upon profound changes in legal frameworks and practices, institutions, and society at large.
