Selected Bibliography »Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict«

In the past forty years, a vibrant interdisciplinary research landscape has developed that explores the complexity of sexual violence in armed conflict. Our bibliography presents a unique specialist selection of this research.

The collection is continuously updated, and presently stores about 2,500 books, articles and selected NGO reports, mainly in English and, to a much lesser extent, in German. Apart from current work in the field, it documents the knowledge production since the 1970s. The focus of the selection mirrors the ongoing work of the SVAC network.

The bibliographic information of all titles can be searched for in the
SVAC-CATALOGUE. 

Many articles and a number of e-books can be accessed online. Copies of all publications are available on-site at the Library of the Hamburg Institute for Social Research. 

The »Selected Bibliography ›Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict‹« is the result of cooperation between Lisa Gabriel, Regina Mühlhäuser and Gaby Zipfel (Working Group »War and Gender« at the Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Research and Culture) and Gudrun Döllner, Christoph Fuchs and Ingwer Schwensen (Library of the Hamburg Institute for Social Research). The establishment and continuous update of the collection is kindly supported by the Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Research and Culture.
