The article explores the relationship between
gender-based violence and armed conflict.
Increasing international awareness regarding the
impact and implications of violence against
women has led to numerous mechanisms attempting
to address accountability in this regard.
Despite this, the problem of gender based
violence in the context of armed conflict
remains an issue. Women continue to face the
threat of violence even after the threat of
conflict has ceased. The article aims to
document the increasing awareness of this issue,
as well as the challenges that lay ahead in
developing a coherent solution.
