Gender & Development Volume 21,
Issue 3, November 2013 - Conflict and Violence
The articles in this issue of G&D focus on the complicated and context-specific relationship between gender inequality and violence and conflict, and debate ways to end gender-based violence (GBV) in its many pernicious forms. Formally ending conflict is not enough to end GBV. Long term, transformative change is necessary in order to advance women's rights in conflict and post-conflict contexts.
