Sexual Violence and Masculinities in the Democratic Republic of Congo - Sexual violence against men - Analysing the issue of rape in the conflict

Through a case study of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this paper seeks to explain why sexual violence is used against men, especially rape. Through the discussion of hegemonic masculinities, I intend to explain the use of such practices. At the same time, I seek to criticise international society's position on the issue, which tends to neglect men and boys as victims of sexual violence, treating only women as victims.
