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.
