  • The Politicization of Sexual Violence in Ukraine: The Impact of Partisan Representation on Effective Responses. Reviewed

    Authorship:Lead author   Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Conflict-based sexual violence refers to the additional layer of complexity that exists regarding coerced sexual acts that occur within the chaos, disorder, and militarisation of conflict zones. Frequently, the political factors that permeate such conflicts will make these sensitive crimes even more difficult to investigate. Narratives of reflexive patriotism or
    deliberate propaganda which lionise one side of a conflict or demonise another, can lead to 25 the issue becoming a tool in propaganda campaigns between opposing sides. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, conflict-based sexual violence has been presented in
    Western media as a crime specific to Russian forces. While almost certainly true in some cases, several factors suggest that the issue has become politicised in a manner which prioritises political narratives over the protection of vulnerable women. This paper argues
    30 that enough evidence of such politicisation exists to warrant a change in how the relevant international agencies and the mass media approach the issue, with a higher standard of neutral assessment being required to advance the welfare of women in the conflict zone.

    Throughout the year I attended several conferences on issues related to gender violence allowing me to present my findings, network with other academics, and carry out some further fieldwork through interviews with government officials, NGO members, and activists.
    In October 2022, the book 'Gender Violence, the Law, and Society' was released (Emerald Publishing - ISBN: 978-1801171304) in which I contributed six chapters (Three were single author and three co-authored).
    I also took part in several international conferences: 8th May (2022) 'Evil and Sexuality Global Inclusive Interdisciplinary Conference' in Prague, Czech Republic. 30th July (2022) '2nd International Conference on Gender Studies & Sexuality' in Dublin, Ireland. 21st February (2023) 'Unstoppable - Women Overcoming Barriers to Success Conference' in Tirana, Albania. 19th March (2023) '3rd International Conference on Gender & Sexuality' in Berlin, Germany. 25th March (2023) '4th Annual Hestia Spring Conference' in Bangkok, Thailand.
    Others: On the 22nd February 2023, I was interviewed on the 'Wake Up' tv show (Top Channel station) on the subject of Women's Empowerment in Japan, Tirana, Albania.
    The impact of Covid was greatly reduced in the past year and I was finally able to properly reconnect with academics in other countries and also carry out more research regarding responses to gender issues outside of Japan. Nonetheless, things have only now (in May 2023) fully returned to normal and there were still some delays and barriers that prevented access to some potential interview subjects. Hopefully, these figures will now be available in the remainder of 2023.
    I am currently due to take part in two upcoming conferences (4th Global Congress on Gender and Sexuality Studies, in Budapest, Hungary, and the 5th Global Conference on Women’s Studies, in Dublin, Ireland). The Summer period will also be used to conduct some final fieldwork and interviews and from this I plan on finalising drafts of research papers for submission to several peer-reviewed journals.
    <BR>
    Once they are complete I hope to be able to present an overview of the project at an upcoming conference on Gender Issues in East Asian or SouthEast Asia region.
