Item type:Publication, Water insecurity and gender-based violence: a global review of the evidence(Wiley, 2022-10-03)We reviewed the existing literature documenting the association between water insecurity and gender‐based violence to (1) describe the characteristics and contexts of available studies, and (2) identify and classify documented gender‐based violence across domains of water insecurity (access, affordability, adequacy, reliability, and safety). 18 peer‐reviewed articles mentioned associations between water insecurity and gender‐based violence. All studies were conducted in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia and were published in English. The most common manifestation of the relationship between water insecurity and gender‐based violence was an increased risk of sexual and physical violence for women who walked long distances to access water. This was followed by intimate partner violence sparked by the inability to meet domestic obligations due to household water inadequacy. Despite these trends, the domains of water insecurity, and the types of violence experienced by women, were often intertwined. We conclude that there is a dearth of information assessing gender‐based violence and water insecurity, especially in Latin America, North America, and Southeast Asia, and involving locally‐based scholars. We suggest that the spectrum of what is considered “violence” in relation to water insecurity be expanded and that scholars and practitioners adopt the term “gender‐based water violence” to describe water‐related stressors that are so extreme as to threaten human health and well‐being, particularly that of women and girls. Finally, we encourage the development of cross‐culturally validated measures of gender‐based violence, which can be deployed in conjunction with standardized measures of water insecurity, to evaluate interventions that target these linked threats to global health.

Item type:Publication, The gender wage gap and domestic violence against women: Evidence from Peru(Universidad de los Andes, Colombia, 2024-02-29)In Peru, 68% of women have reported being the victim of partner violence, at some point in their lives. However, very little is known about the economic determinants of domestic violence. The present study is intended to analyze the relationship between the gender wage gap and domestic violence in Peru. We understand that the gap is a characteristic of the market that places women at a disadvantage compared to men. Data from the National Household Survey enables the calcula-tion of this wage gap. This information, combined with the violence report from the Demographic and Health Survey, is used in the regression anal-yses. We find that wide wage gaps are associated with higher incidences of physical and emotional violence. This result also extends to women who are not gainfully employed. These women ben-efit from greater equality in the labor market that provides them with better potential inco-me, which would increase their bargaining power within the home. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ‘They Were Their Boyfriends’: The Construction of the Image of the Perpetrator in Cases of Sexual Assault in the Community of Manta During the Peruvian Internal Armed Conflict(Routledge, 2023-01-01)Several women from the community of Manta were raped by soldiers assigned to the military bases there during the Peruvian internal armed conflict (1980-2000). Sexual assault became a repeated and systematic practice throughout the entire time the military base was operational (1984-1998). In 2016, nine women started legal proceedings to demand justice and reparations for the crimes committed against them. The aim of this article is to focus on the construction of the image of the perpetrators of sexual assaults in the military during the armed conflict, paying particular attention to Manta. To achieve this, the opinions of six of the nine rape survivors have been analyzed from conversations taking place over the two years of the field research. Also, this article will analyze how an image of the soldiers as ‘innocent' and ‘decent’ men has been constructed by the defendants. For this, the author analyzes their ethnographic field notes realized during the trial. The analysis of the conduct of both the soldiers and their lawyers during the hearings allows to observe the construction of a story of innocence that attaches to the triumphalist memoria salvadora that exists in Peru. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, EPISTEMIC INJUSTICE, THE RIGHT TO THE TRUTH AND REPARATIONS IN CASES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE(University of Jaén, 2025-01-01)This article seeks to identify the importance of the concept of “epistemic injustice”, created by Miranda Fricker, for the reparation of the right to the truth in cases of sexual violence. To this end, it conducts an analysis on the notion of epistemic injustice, (hermeneutical and testimonial); on the epistemic dimension of sexual violence; on the current content and scope of the right to the truth; and on the way said right should be repaired. Finally, it provides guidelines for reparations of the right to the truth in cases of sexual violence based on the different aspects of epistemic injustice that are experienced.6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, “Not broken, just silenced”: Empowerment among adolescent mothers institutionalized after sexual violence in Peru(SAGE Publishing, 2026-01-01)This study examines, through a feminist empowerment lens, the trajectories that lead Peruvian adolescent mothers into institutional care following pregnancies resulting from sexual violence, and their lived experiences within these settings. Using a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in a state-accredited protection institution in Lima. Nine adolescent mothers aged 13 to 17 participated in structured observations and group interviews conducted together with in-depth interviews with one adolescent and two institutional authorities. The findings identified three key moments across a continuum of violence and care: sexual violence within the family, disclosure and engagement with legal and health systems, and life inside the institution. Across these phases, participants encountered multiple forms of revictimization, including within institutions meant to provide care. At the same time, the study documents expressions of resistance and agency, including disclosure, peer solidarity, and collective care. These practices illustrate forms of “power from within” and “power with” that emerge under conditions of profound constraint. Rather than positioning institutionalization as protective by default, the analysis shows how care is often delivered through paternalistic and controlling logics that limit autonomy. The study contributes to feminist psychology by conceptualizing empowerment as relational, situated, and negotiated within institutional contexts.2
