This book charts the roller coaster ride taken by the authors over the past 33 years in the ongoing fight to acknowledge, prevent, and respond to the rape and sexual abuse of women in conflict and displacement situations. They have worked with an international network of academics, refugee women, and human rights activists in 22 countries. The story moves between refugee camps, the United Nations, and refugee settlements in cities and national governments. Theory and ethical research methods are an essential part of the story. It is sometimes very confronting, occasionally amusing, and often uplifting.
