ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses how the recent and ongoing securitisation of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) intersects with and connects to societal responses to post-conflict sexual violence. We argue that there are three interrelated modes of recognition that form part of the CRSV securitisation process: hyper-visibility, the construction of a hierarchy of harms and criminalisation. Looking at securitisation through these modes of recognition, we discuss how the rape–security nexus at the level of global security politics may impact on women’s security in post-conflict societies in unintended ways. In doing so, we engage with the ongoing scholarly debate about the relevance and importance of a continuum perspective on violence against women.
