There is a rich body of research addressing the issues of conflict-related sexual violence, and a similar wealth of scholarship focused on resilience. To date, however, these literatures have rarely engaged with each other. This article developed from an ongoing research project that seeks to address this gap, by exploring how victims-/survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in three highly diverse settings – Bosnia-Herzegovina, Colombia and Uganda – demonstrate resilience. This research is the first to apply the Adult Resilience Measure (ARM), a 28-item scale that seeks to measure protective resources across individual, relational, and contextual subscales, to the context of conflict-related sexual violence. A total of 449 female and male participants in the three aforementioned countries completed the ARM (in the framework of the study questionnaire) as part of this research. This article presents some of the results of the analyses. Specifically, we first sought to establish through Confirmatory Factor Analysis whether the ARM was actually measuring the same construct in all three countries, by confirming the invariance (or otherwise) of the factor structure. The second aim was to explore how different resources function and cluster in different cultural contexts, to arrive at a more nuanced understanding of the different protective factors in the lives of study participants. We generated different factor structures for BiH, Colombia, and Uganda respectively, suggesting that a single factor structure does not sufficiently capture the diverse groupings of protective factors linked to the particularities of each country, including the dynamics of the conflicts themselves. Ultimately, we use the findings to underscore the need for policy approaches that move away from a deficit model and give greater attention to strengthening and investing in the (often overlooked) protective resources that victims-/survivors may already have in their everyday lives.

有大量研究解决与冲突有关的性暴力问题，并且有大量类似的学术研究侧重于复原力。然而，迄今为止，这些文献很少相互接触。本文源自一个正在进行的研究项目，该项目旨在通过探索三个高度不同的环境（波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、哥伦比亚和乌干达）中与冲突相关的性暴力的受害者/幸存者如何表现出复原力来弥补这一差距。这项研究首次将成人复原力测量 (ARM) 应用到与冲突相关的性暴力的背景下，这是一个包含 28 个项目的量表，旨在衡量跨个人、关系和背景子量表的保护资源。作为本研究的一部分，上述三个国家共有 449 名女性和男性参与者完成了 ARM（在研究问卷的框架内）。本文介绍了一些分析结果。具体来说，我们首先试图通过验证性因素分析来确定 ARM 是否实际上在所有三个国家测量相同的结构，方法是确认因素结构的不变性（或其他）。第二个目标是探索不同资源如何在不同文化背景下发挥作用和聚集，以更细致地了解研究参与者生活中的不同保护因素。我们分别为波黑、哥伦比亚和乌干达生成了不同的因子结构，这表明单一因素结构不足以捕捉与每个国家的特殊性相关的不同保护因素组，包括冲突本身的动态。最终，我们利用调查结果强调需要政策方法摆脱赤字模型，并更加重视加强和投资受害者/幸存者在日常生活中可能已经拥有的（经常被忽视的）保护资源。
