For many women, the end of conflicts does not represent the end of conflict-related sexual violence. Current studies argue that escaping from war and repression to refugee and IDP camps only offers a certain degree of protection against violent assaults since women are not safe from (sexual) abuse there. Several refugee and aid agencies recognise the vulnerability of women and girls as targets of sexual violence and implement measures to protect and empower them. In spite of that there is an increase in the recording of crimes which indicates that sexual and gender-based violence constitutes a particular challenge. Against this backdrop, the research project investigates conditions, forms and scopes of sexual violence against women in conflict-related refugee camps. How does the confined space of refugee camps influence gender relations among the refugees? How does the experience of wartime violence affect actions and behaviour? Does the confinement of the space lead to an increase of sexual violence against women and, if so, how? These questions form the centre of the research project and shall be analysed by means of a case study in Uganda. http://www.uni-marburg.de/konfliktforschung/personal/buckley-zistel/gender?set_language=en
