| Title | A Critical Feminist Analysis of Sexual Violence of Migrant and Refugee Men: Perceptions and Experiences within International Relations |
| Summary | This research topic focuses on the sexual abuse and exploitation of male migrants and refugees, within the international relations discourse. Using feminist critical discourse analysis, the research analyzes how sexual violence, the vulnerabilities of male migrants, statehood, power, and the concept of violence, becomes gendered. The research delves into the analysis of sexual violence against men in war context, examining the experience of combatant vulnerabilities within the securitization framework. The research engages with theorizations of Marysia Zalewski, Cynthia Enloe, and other authors who have produced work regarding the masculine identities, and questioned gender norms within sexual exploitation and international relations. This research includes an analysis of Syrian and Libyan male migrant and refugee experiences of sexual violence and exploitation, on the journey to Europe, and upon arrival to the host state. The research proposes critical and immediate attention to the gendering of male migrant victims, and encourages the re-conceptualization of the male identity, when addressing male migrant survivors of sexual violence. The research points to the emergence of this topic, and its importance for the current migration development, and its effect on international relations discourse. |
