Sexual Violence and War
Sexual violence in conflict is a continuation or escalation of gendered violence towards women and men in peacetime – much of which takes place inside the home.

The claims of states in the Global North to be promoting LGBTQ+ rights around the world can serve to mask those same states’ violations of the rights of LGBTQ+ people from the Global South.
