By exploring different examples of “sexual violence” in Asia presented by three speakers, we hope to generate an informed discussion on how to understand and respond to “sexual violence” perpetrated by the state across Asia. In addition, in honour of the 20th anniversary of the Security Council Resolution on Women Security, we aim to discuss the limits of current global governance in addressing the issue of conflict-related “sexual violence”.
