Hidden Wars Test Bank, Davies & True, 3rd Edition

Unlock the Hidden Dimensions of SGBV in Asia

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) has always been a part of warfare, but its true extent remains shrouded in secrecy. In Asia, testimonies of egregious rape and sexual violence extend back to the Rape of Nanjing, to the experience of the Korean comfort women in World War II, and to forced marriages and sexual slavery during the Cambodian genocide.

Breaking the Culture of Silence

In Hidden Wars, Sara E. Davies and Jacqui True examine the relationship between reports of SGBV and structural gender inequality in three conflict-affected societies in Asia—Burma, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. Based on extensive field research and an original dataset on conflict-related SGBV, Davies and True show how reporting is significantly constrained by a variety of factors, including normalized gendered violence as well as political dynamics affecting local civil society, humanitarian, and international organizations.
