Resumen

Este artículo examina el notorio crecimiento de la literatura empírica en las ciencias políticas sobre la violencia sexual contra civiles en tiempos de guerra, incluyendo la violación, la esclavitud sexual y el matrimonio forzado, entre otros. Los trabajos anteriores, motivados por conflictos en curso en la antigua Yugoslavia y Ruanda, tendían a presentar estas formas de violencia como inevitables, omnipresentes y oportunistas o estratégicas. Sin embargo, la literatura reciente y las nuevas fuentes de datos han documentado variaciones sustanciales en la violencia sexual entre países, conflictos, perpetradores y víctimas y sobrevivientes. Con base en estas variaciones observadas, los académicos han desarrollado y propuesto numerosas teorías acerca de cuándo, dónde, por qué y bajo qué condiciones ocurre la violencia sexual, así como sus consecuencias. En este documento resaltamos los hallazgos principales desde la literatura, explicamos los debates más importantes entre expertos y exploramos varias posibilidades para investigaciones futuras. Para finalizar, describimos el aporte que ofrece el estudio de la violencia sexual en tiempos de guerra —tanto los hallazgos como el proceso de investigación— a un grupo más amplio de investigadores de las ciencias políticas.
