How do wars impact women's lives? Do humanitarian efforts improve women's recovery from the impact of war? This guide provides selective resources to encourage research and exploration around these questions. The guide focuses on four themes: sexual violence, trauma and healing, refugees, and women combatants. We focused on wars and conflicts post-World War II and research published after 1980.
Ying Zhang, Research Librarian for East Asia Studies, has also created a guide specific to Korean Comfort Women.
