- Description
- In traditional historical and scholarly accounts of the making and fighting of wars, women are often nowhere to be seen. War stories are told as if men were the only ones who plan, fight, are injured by, and negotiate ends to wars. As this book tells,women can be found at every turn in the (gendered) phenomena of war. Women have participated in the making, fighting, and concluding of wars throughout history, and their participation is only increasing at the turn of the 21st century. Women experience war in multiple ways: as soldiers, as fighters, as civilians, as caregivers, as sex workers, as sexual slaves, refugees and internally displaced persons, as anti-war activists, as community peace-builders, and more.

- Description
- An estimated 35 million people worldwide are displaced by conflict, and most of them are women and children. During their time away from their homes and communities, these women and their children are subjected to a horrifying array of misfortune, including privations of every kind, sexual assaults, disease, imprisonment, unwanted pregnancies, severe psychological trauma, and, upon return or resettlement, social disapproval and isolation. .This collection brings these problems - and potential solutions - into sharp focus. Based on field research and a broad knowledge of other studies of the challenges facing women who are forced from their homes and homelands by conflict, this book offers understanding and problem-solving ideas.

- Description
- The author shows that the people who become militarized are not just the obvious ones executives and factory floor workers who make fighter planes, land mines, and intercontinental missiles. They are also the employees of food companies, toy companies, clothing companies, film studios, stock brokerages, and advertising agencies. Militarization is never gender-neutral, Enloe claims: it is a personal and political transformation that relies on ideas about femininity and masculinity Enloe ranges widely from Japan to Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Britain, Israel, the United States, and many points in between. She covers a broad variety of subjects: gays in the military, the history of 'camp followers', the politics of women who have sexually serviced male soldiers, married life in the military, military nurses, and the recruitment of women into the military. She explores the complicated militarized experiences of women as prostitutes, as rape victims, as mothers, as wives, as nurses, and as feminist activists.

- Description
- The industrialization of prostitution and the sex trade has created a multibillion-dollar global market, involving millions of women, that makes a substantial contribution to national and global economies. This book examines how prostitution and other aspects of the sex industry have moved from being small-scale, clandestine practices to become very profitable legitimate market sectors that are being legalised and decriminalised by governments. Jeffreys demonstrates how prostitution has been globalized through an examination of the growth of pornography and its new global reach, the boom in adult shops, strip clubs and escort agencies, military prostitution and sexual violence in war, marriage and the mail order bride industry, the rise in sex tourism and trafficking in women.

- Description
- De Japanse bezetter zag gecontroleerde seks in militaire bordelen als een pragmatische maatregel om geslachtsziekten en grootschalige verkrachtingen te voorkomen. De geïnterviewde vrouwen vertellen een ander verhaal. Ze zijn onder dwang of met valse beloften van straat gerukt, thuis opgepakt, door dorpshoofden opgeroepen en systematisch verkracht in militaire bordelen, kazernes, fabrieksloodsen, treinstellen en tentenkampen. Het zijn indringende verhalen en portretten van inmiddels hoogbejaarde vrouwen voor wie de oorlog nooit is opgehouden.

- Description
- This study assesses the supranational criminal prosecution of sexual violence, notably whether supranational criminal law (sexual violence as genocide, a crime against humanity and a war crime) and supranational criminal procedure (protective and special measures for and participation of victims of sexual violence) are adequate from the perspective of victims of sexual violence. In addition, the legal consequences of the supranational criminal law system (sentencing and reparation) are examined with the situation of victims of sexual violence in mind. The adequacy of supranational criminal prosecution of sexual violence is primarily examined from the point of view of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the benchmark for supranational criminal prosecutions, with clear reference to the practice of the Yugoslav-Tribunal (ICTY) and the Rwanda-Tribunal (ICTR) in the field of sexual violence prosecutions. The study concludes with some recommendations for a more comprehensive framework of supranational criminal prosecution of sexual violence.

- Description
- The Japanese military was responsible for the sexual enslavement of thousands of women and girls in Asia and the Pacific during the China and Pacific wars under the guise of providing 'comfort' for battle-weary troops. Campaigns for justice and reparations for 'comfort women' since the early 1990s have highlighted the magnitude of the human rights crimes committed against Korean, Chinese and other Asian women by Japanese soldiers after they invaded the Chinese mainland in 1937. This book explores the origins of the Japanese military's system of sexual slavery and illustrates how Japanese women were its initial victims.
