ABSTRACT
This chapter examines how feminist peace approaches to genocide have developed—from focusing on women’s specific experiences of genocide to the study of gendered dynamics during genocide. This chapter first explores scholarship that highlights how women belonging to targeted groups have been affected by genocides and how these patterns of violence can be explained by gender norms and values. This chapter also focuses on feminist scholarship that has sought to complicate the gender analysis of genocide by bringing in other genders, including gender and sexual minorities, and by using an intersectional lens. Finally, this chapter examines patterns of sexual violence perpetrated during genocides and highlights the various ways in which feminist researchers have understood the relations between sexual violence and genocide.
