The PRIO Centre on Gender, Peace and Security has published two new papers in the Missing Peace series.
The first paper, “State security sector engagement and conflict-related sexual violence,” by Sabrina Karim and Taylor Vincent, examines the role of the security sector in preventing, addressing and providing justice for CRSV during and after war. The paper considers the role of UN peacekeeping operations and security sector reform, as well as the challenges and gaps in current approaches to preventing and responding to sexual violence.
The second paper, “Men, masculinities and conflict-related sexual violence: Examining narratives of perpetration, victimization and allyship,” by Henri Myrtinen and Chloé Lewis explores how masculinities shape understandings of CRSV, including the roles of men as perpetrators, victims and survivors, and allies in preventing sexual violence. The authors highlight the importance of engaging more critically with masculinities in research, policy and programming on CRSV.
