Recognizing Reproductive Violence Within the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (UN Women, Global Justice Center, 2026)

Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict

This research paper examines reproductive violence as a distinct form of gender-based violence and explores its implications for the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda.

Developed by UN Women and Global Justice Center, the publication argues that recognizing reproductive violence can strengthen prevention, protection, participation, and relief and recovery efforts in conflict and post-conflict settings. Drawing on international law, emerging jurisprudence, and examples from multiple conflict contexts, it provides recommendations for integrating a reproductive violence lens into WPS policy and practice.
