The Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict
The Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict by Karen Engle can be found here.
Subtitled “Feminists Interventions in International Law,” the monograph traces three decades of feminist engagement with international law and institutions with a focus on how and why both feminist activism and international law became “gripped” by the issue of sexual violence in conflict. Professor Engle’s analysis reinvigorates vital debates about feminist goals and priorities, and spurs readers to question much of today’s common sense about the causes, effects, and proper responses to sexual violence in conflict.
