ABSTRACT
This conclusion begins by reiterating the originality of the research and its contribution to extant scholarship on conflict-related sexual violence, which to date has not substantively engaged with the concept of resilience. Summarising the book’s own social-ecological approach to resilience – and contrasting it with individualist framings of resilience that largely prevail at the international policy level – the conclusion further expands on the wider significance of the research (and its emphasis on connectivity) for the field of transitional justice. It makes several suggestions for future research and ends with some of the messages of support that participants in the 2021 reflections workshops wished to communicate – as an expression of connectivity – to other victims-/survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
