(In) women’s safety in the conflict of former Iugoslavia: an analysis from the perspective of Political Psychology and Feminista Human Security

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on women’s insecurity in the context of armed conflict, the case under consideration will be the civil war in former Iugoslavia that lasted from 1992 to 1995. The situations raised relate to the practice of the estupro as a strategy of ethnic cleansing and also to economic uncertainties during and after the war. The hypothesis raised is that situations of insecurity in which women experience in times of armed conflict are not simply the product of war, but reflect the social structure, which even in the absence of conflict allows, tolerates and encourages violence against women. Concepts such as structural violence, institutionalised violence and symbolic violence will therefore be seen against the backdrop of this reflection. In addition, the analytical category of gênero will be used in addition to the perspective of feminist human security and political psychology.
