This book examines the potential impact of rape survivors' traumatic experiences in post-conflict zones. With specific attention to the experiences of women who were sexually abused during the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, it addresses the sexuality of survivors, which has so far been inadequately researched, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images and narrations that have so far prevailed in academic and public discourse about women survivors, whilst exploring the effects of those narratives on the political, social and economic status of the survivors themselves.
