Abstract

Despite the popular narrative of “rape as a weapon of war,” research shows that only a minority of insurgent groups perpetrate sexual violence in armed conflict. We argue that territorial control is an overlooked factor that can increase the likelihood a group commits sexual violence for two primary reasons: (1) rebel groups seeking to establish control over territory are more likely to commit sexual violence; and (2) groups seeking to maintain territorial control emulate state behavior through violently controlling human, sexual, and reproductive capital, which manifests in forced recruitment and different forms of sexual violence, including rape and sexual slavery. We systematically test this argument using the Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict (SVAC) and the Big Allied and Dangerous Insurgent II (BAADI2) datasets. The results provide robust support for the argument. This constitutes an important addition to our understanding of conflict-related sexual violence and rebel governance.

控制身体和领土:叛乱领土控制和性暴力

摘要

尽管流行说“强奸是战争武器”,但研究表明,只有少数叛乱组织在武装冲突中犯下性暴力。我们认为,领土控制是一个被忽视的因素,它可以增加一个集团实施性暴力的可能性,其主要原因有两个:(1)寻求建立对领土的控制权的叛乱集团更可能实施性暴力;(2)寻求维持领土控制的团体通过暴力控制人力,性和生殖资本来模仿国家行为,这表现为强迫征募和包括强奸和性奴役在内的各种形式的性暴力。我们使用武装冲突中的性暴力(SVAC)和大同盟和危险叛乱者II(BAADI2)数据集系统地检验了这一论点。结果为该论点提供了有力的支持。这是对我们对与冲突有关的性暴力和叛乱治理的理解的重要补充。
