Gender-based violence has been a key target of transnational advocacy networks since the early 1980s, and the United Nations has, in intervening years, passed a series of resolutions to condemn, prevent, investigate, and punish gender violence. Member states have ratified these resolutions. Yet, despite buy-in at the global level, implementation at the domestic level remains uneven. In this book, Peace A. Medie studies the domestic implementation of international norms by examining how two post-conflict states in Africa, Liberia and C么te d'Ivoire, have responded to rape and domestic violence with varying outcomes. Medie describes not only how these states implement anti-rape and anti-domestic violence norms but also how women experience and are affected by these norms.
