Abstract

The potential for sexual and gender-based violence against women in situations of migration and conflict is widely recognized (UNHCR, 2003; Wakabi, 2008; Longombe et al., 2008; Hynes and Cardozo, 2000; Al Gasseer et al., 2004; Cottingham et al., 2008). While individual- and gang-perpetrated rape has been the focus of much of the limited literature to date, the scope of sexual and gender-based violence, both overall and within situations of migration and conflict, is far wider, and includes trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced prostitution.
