Sexual abuse & harassment; International institutions; International organisations & institutions

In 2003, the UN adopted a zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers and aid workers. The policy arrived amid a series of scandals revealing sexual misconduct perpetrated against the very people peacekeeping and humanitarian missions were meant to protect.

This edited collection, including contributions from academics and practitioners, highlights the challenges of preventing and responding to abuse in peacekeeping and aid work, and the unintended consequences of current approaches. It lays bare the structures of power, coloniality and racism that underpin abuse and hinder accountability while charting a path for future action.

This eye-opening book will appeal to academics and students of the politics and practice of peacekeeping and humanitarianism, and to practitioners, policy makers and those working within the field.

Reviews for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Peacekeeping and Aid: Critiquing the Past, Plotting the Future

“An impressive group of grittily knowledgeable contributors reveal the hard feminist lessons learned over the last 30 years of transforming UN and humanitarian organizations: lessons about stubbornly patriarchal institutional cultures, about implementation failures when gender inequity persists at the operational ground level and, crucially, why justice for women and girls in crisis zones is the sine qua non for sustainable peace.” Cynthia Enloe, Clark University “This collection is essential reading for those of us working on questions of gender, power and violence in humanitarian and peacekeeping contexts. The volume challenges conventional boundaries and forges connections between scholars and practitioners.” Lucy Hall, University of Amsterdam
