This year’s workshop was a continuation of the discussion at Sciences Po in Paris last year. It is aimed at deepening our knowledge about various constellations, circumstances, and conditions in which sexual violence occurs. The discussion centered around the following aspects:

• constellations in overlapping situations of armed conflict and civil life
• gender-constellations
• impacts/effects of masculinity, military, and civil norms on constellations
• time-dependent understandings of constellations
• fictional/medial representations of constellations
