Sexual violence crimes in the eastern DRC have received significant global attention and triggered calls by the international community to end this violence. This book critically assesses international assistance to the Congolese legal system to challenge sexual violence crimes, to determine to what extent it engages with the continuum of gendered violence from peacetime to conflict. It also examines whether international assistance has produced any transformations in gendered power relations in the eastern DRC. The author investigates how challenging sexual violence crimes in conflict necessitates broader female empowerment and engagement with gendered power relations. This book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students in gender studies, development studies, and international relations. It will also provide significant guidance for professionals working for development agencies and INGOs focusing on the eastern DRC"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The Entangled Lives of Sexual Violence -- The International Politics of Sexual Violence Crimes in Conflict -- Reforming the Legal Framework on Sexual Violence Crimes -- Bringing Justice to Survivors of Sexual Violence Crimes -- Bringing Perpetrators of Sexual Violence Crimes to Justice -- Transformation of Gendered Power Relations -- Conclusion 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Rape $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Rape as a weapon of war $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Women $x Crimes against $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Women $z Congo (Democratic Republic) $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a Rape. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089970 650 7 $a Rape as a weapon of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740558 650 7 $a Women $x Crimes against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176618 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208723 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sahin, Bilge, $t Sexual violence crimes and gendered power relations $b 1. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003017196 $w (DLC) 2020023456 830 0 $a Routledge studies in gender and global politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020015229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82A06604323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
