Gender Politics, Violence, and Democratic Erosion

Abstract

This panel brings together research on gender, war, authoritarian governance, and the politics of sexual and gender-based violence across diverse regional contexts, including Myanmar, Iran, Ukraine, and Nigeria. Across these cases, women face heightened forms of violence in militarised and autocratic settings, while simultaneously emerging as key political actors, advocates, and targets of state control.
