Sexual Violence, International Conflicts, Feminism, Gender, Affective-Sexual DiversityAbstract
In this text we are going to analyze the factors that generate sexual violence during armed conflicts and the lack of gender sensitivity and LGTBIQ+ approach in the International Relations and International Law. We will follow the content analysis, mainly in legislation and case law, with a critical and feminist approach based on the claims of the victims, the type of subjects and the stereotypes in the sources. The late incorporation of sexual violence in contexts of armed conflict and the under-representation of LGTBIQ+ people. Partly this is because the institutionalised discrimination discrimination and the emergency of sex and gender as an object of study in the International Relations and International Law. Sexual violence, under gender violence, operates in a similar way on women and on non-normative sexualities, with the intention of feminizing and homosexualizing dissident bodies. The issues that address jointly the affective-sexual diversity and International Relations have been little explored, so this text opens a critical line of analysis.
