The Political Economy of Post-Conflict Violence Against Women

冲突后和政治过渡是促进妇女权利和参与的重大机遇。然而，一旦武装冲突稳定或政权更迭，针对妇女的性暴力和基于性别的暴力明显激增，就会阻碍这些机会。该项目旨在解释暴力的原因及其对妇女在不同环境中参与经济和政治的影响。报告将比较亚太和中东及北非两个区域的冲突后国家、政治过渡国家和非冲突国家，审查似乎加剧暴力侵害妇女行为和阻碍妇女参与的性别不平等、区域模式和全球力量。

Post-conflict and political transitions are major opportunities for advancing women’s rights and participation. Yet an apparent spike in sexual- and gender-based violence against women hinders these opportunities once armed conflict is stabilised or regime change is achieved. This project aims to explain the causes of that violence and its consequences for women’s economic and political participation in different environments. It will compare post-conflict, political transition and non-conflict countries across two regions, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and North Africa, examining the gender inequalities, regional patterns, and global forces that appear to heighten violence against women and hinder women’s participation.
