This edited collection develops a gendered lens for genocide prevention by uncovering socially constructed gender roles which are crucial for the onset, form and prevention of genocide and mass atrocities. This volume draws on contemporary feminist theory, concepts of masculinity, critical discussions of international law, and in-depth case studies to provide a better understanding of the function of gender at different stages of genocide and mass atrocity processes as well as a basis for more comprehensive strategies for genocide prevention.

Mary Michele Connellan is a Juris Doctor law student at Melbourne Law School. Mary has worked extensively in genocide and mass atrocity prevention policy and presented papers at international conferences. Christiane Fröhlich is a Peace and Conflict Researcher at Universität Hamburg, Germany. Her research focuses on environmental conflicts in particular, currently with a focus on the intersection between global environmental change and human mobility.
