Tonia St. Germain and Susan Dewey, editors
The authors of this groundbreaking book explore the gap between policy and practice in international responses to conflict-related sexual violence. Drawing on their research in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America, they offer fresh perspectives on, and practical approaches to, achieving justice for women who have survived wartime sexual assault.
Tonia St. Germain is an instructor in the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program at Oregon State University and Susan Dewey is associate professor in the Gender and Women's Studies Program at the University of Wyoming.
