A new article introduces the Repertoires of Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict (RSVAC) data package.
This data source assembles reports from 1989 to 2015 of forms of sexual violence by government/states forces, insurgent/rebel organizations, and pro-government militias for each conflict and year, as well as extensive qualitative notes. The new data package helps disaggregate ‘sexual violence’ into its distinct forms and will therefore enable analysis of the reported presence of forms of sexual violence across time, conflicts, and organizations.

The Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict is taking place in London on 10-13 June, co-chaired by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The summit is an effort to join forces internationally to combat the culture of impunity, take practical steps, support survivors, and change attitudes towards the issue. At PRIO, researchers have been working on issues of sexual violence in conflict for some time already, teaming up with international experts to perform groundbreaking research and convene large conferences.
The book Transnational Dynamics of Civil War (Cambridge University Press) presents research completed in 2010-12 by one of the working groups of PRIO’s Center for the Study of Civil War (CSCW). The authors take on the challenge of explaining how cross-border groups and interactions shape the course of civil wars and the potentials for ending the violence.
The Program on Order, Conflict, and Violence at Yale University MacMillan Center announces a conference on Conference on Paramilitaries, Militias, and Civil Defense Forces in Civil Wars, to be held 19-20 October 2012.
