  • Summary

    This chapter considers whether human rights and humanitarianism have different ways of intervening in violence against women during war. One possibility is that these differences are explained by references to their expertise and professional training and goals. Humanitarians tend to come from public health and want to heal physical and open wounds. Human rights actors want to bring justice, which means punishing perpetrators. But to do so requires that the victims tell their stories, which risks reopening their trauma.
