- Title
Violence Against Women in the Context of War: Experiences of Shi’i Women and Palestinian Refugee Women in Lebanon.

- Abstract
In times of war, women are likely to experience, in addition to the “normal” violence of peacetime, random cruelties perpetrated by the enemy against all members of the community. During research conducted with Palestinian refugees and Shi’i Muslims in Lebanon, women described various forms of violence and, in this article, I examine violence suffered by women in the context of conflict from three perspectives: victimization, trauma, and resistance. I argue that traumatic events have the effect of obliterating identity, but they can also strengthen the resolve to resist.
