“…Especially in countries with economic problems such as Africa, Bolivia, and Kenya, digital violence is seen (Gutierrez and Romero, 2015;Nelaeva and Sidorova, 2019;Okech, 2021;Decker et al, 2021Decker et al, , 2022.…”

This study is based on the inequality that women experience in digital spaces and the oppression and anxiety in their lives. In addition to the violence that women experience in the private or public sphere, they also experience some difficulties in the digital field. The fact that people spend more time in the virtual environment, and the increase in their use of smart phones and the internet has led to the transfer of violence against women to digital platforms. The aim of this research is to raise awareness due to the increasing trend of digital violence, to systematize studies in the academic field and to provide directions for future research. For this purpose, systematic literature review method was used in the research. The relevant literature on digital violence/digital violence and women has been reviewed, studies have been defined and analyzed. It has been seen that the studies are mostly society and culture-oriented, and digital violence is frequently studied together with social media, partner violence, domestic violence, pornography, sexual harassment. Studies have been systematized according to the types of digital violence against women. In this direction, comments were made according to the findings and suggestions were made for future research.

“…Women are often silenced in truth-seeking and truth-telling processes (Mbwana, 2020). Further, excessive focus on women in trials and truth-telling mechanisms as victims of war may obscure other forms of women's experiences such as direct participation in combat; and collective agency and mobilisation (Evilsizor & Cox, 2021;Nelaeva & Sidorova, 2019). Transitional justice processes also often exclude SGM groups (Mbwana, 2020).…”

“…The political opportunity embedded in transitional justice processes and mechanisms occurs temporarily due to the crisis of legitimacy and upheaval caused by war (Bueno-Hansen, 2018). Transition might only be a short and fleeting momenttherefore, it is essential to incorporate a gender dimension in transitional justice processes and mechanisms (Nelaeva & Sidorova, 2019). Following the UN guiding principles on transitional justice, processes and mechanisms shall necessarily account for the ensuring of the rights of women and girls 7 (Nelaeva & Sidorova, 2019).…”

Following the UN guiding principles on transitional justice, processes and mechanisms shall necessarily account for the ensuring of the rights of women and girls 7 (Nelaeva & Sidorova, 2019). There is a need for improved access for women and SGM groups to existing transitional justice mechanisms and for different approaches that directly address their marginalisation and exclusion in legal, political, economic and social spaces in conflict-affected contexts (Lambourne & Carreon, 2016).…”

“…However, excessive focus on women in transitional justice (e.g. in trials and truth-telling mechanisms) as victims of war may obscure other forms of women's experiences such as direct participation in combat; and collective agency and mobilisation (Evilsizor & Cox, 2021;Nelaeva & Sidorova, 2019). It obscures how women attain new forms of power during war, and how their actions can influence armed groups, create new CSOs, and transform local, national, and international politics (Evilsizor & Cox, 2021).…”

Political Empowerment of Women, Girls and LGBTQ+ People: Post-conflict Opportunities

The instability and upheaval of violent conflict can break down patriarchal structures, challenge traditional gender norms and open up new roles and spaces for collective agency of women, sexual and gender minorities (SGM), and other marginalised groups (Yadav, 2021; Myrittinen & Daigle, 2017). A recent study on the gendered implications of civil war finds that countries recovering from ‘major civil war’ experience substantial improvements in women’s civil liberties and political participation—complementary aspects of political empowerment (Bakken & Bahaug, 2020). This rapid literature review explores the openings that conflict and post-conflict settings can create for the development of political empowerment of women and LGBTQ+ communities—as well as challenges. Drawing primarily on a range of academic, non-governmental organisation (NGO), and practitioner literature, it explores conflict-affected settings from around the world. There was limited literature available on experience from Ukraine (which was of interest for this report); and on specific opportunities at the level of local administrations. In addition, the available literature on empowerment of LGBTQ+ communities was much less than that available for women’s empowerment. The literature also focused on women, with an absence of information on girls. It is important to note that while much of the literature speaks to women in society as a whole, there are various intersectionalities (e.g. class, race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, rural/urban etc.) that can produce varying treatment and degrees of empowerment of women. Several examples are noted within the report.

The Anticipation of #MeToo in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace

In this article, I reconsider J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace, often interpreted in the context of South Africa’s transition to post apartheid life and with an eye to the nation’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, by instead reading it in light of the international twenty first century MeToo movement. I contend that, in retrospect, Disgrace both demonstrates affinities with MeToo and proleptically envisions, from the postcolonial periphery, the contours of the movement decades before its forceful emergence as a watershed moment in the West. Disgrace tells a story echoed in many MeToo accounts, depicting the public exposure and fall from grace of a privileged white man following his sexual exploitation of a non white student. My interests lie not in the matter of David Lurie’s potential redemption; rather, I explore Coetzee’s exposure of the persistence of institutionalized gendered and racial privileges through moments of historical transformation. I argue that Disgrace’s highlighting of its own unnarrated perspectives anticipates the forceful challenge to a lingering white heterosexual hegemony that characterizes MeToo, while at the same time exposing the perpetual marginalization of non white and non Western traumas in discourses of transitional justice in South Africa and globally.
