Safeguarding healthcare workers in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine
BOX International humanitarian law stipulates specific obligations during armed conflict, including the protection of healthcare and humanitarian workers
Soins, coercition et genre dans la guerre révolutionnaire au Népal (1996-2006)
Cet article explore la question des soins et des violences de guerre liés au genre pendant l'insurrection maoïste et le conflit civil népalais (1996-2006). En s'appuyant sur des témoignages oraux et des archives, il montre que le rôle des femmes dans le soin a été transformé par la proximité des zones de combat et les exigences de la guerre subversive et de la dissimulation. Dans un conflit où l'accès aux soins s'est avéré être un enjeu stratégiq…
Intimacy and the gendering of war healthcare
This article explores intimacy and gendered practices in insurgent warfare, with special reference to the conflict in Nepal between 1996 and 2006. Drawing on fieldwork, we argue that women’s experiences of and during the insurgency highlight how they engaged with bodily concerns and care, reproductive, and healing practices while serving revolutionary causes. By drawing attention to these particular issues, the article contends that most of the e…
There is a fear that you will be attacked just for the act of working in health”
The study demonstrates that: (1) attacks on healthcare are context-dependent and require a local lens for mitigation and management; (2) both HCWs and CMs have critical perspectives that must be considered, (3) the impacts of violence against healthcare are complex and compounded and (4) that awareness of the legal protections of the Geneva Conventions must be combined with education on the health impacts for robust protection strategies. Critica…
Interview
This interview hopes to build on and contribute to research on humanitarian memoirs by talking to two humanitarians who have written memoirs: Professor Tony Redmond OBE and Gareth Owen OBE. Tony Redmond’s book Frontline: Saving Lives in War, Disaster and Disease was published in 2021 by HarperNorth and Gareth Owen’s book When the Music’s Over: Intervention, Aid and Somalia will be published in June 2022 by Repeater Books. The interview was conduc…
Using Data to Create Change? Interrogating the Role of Data in Ending Attacks on Healthcare
This article explores the non-straightforward role of data about attacks on health in creating policy and normative change to safeguard access to healthcare and protect healthcare providers in conflict. Acknowledging the importance of data as a key component in the quest to reduce instances of attacks, we take this one step further, asking: what is the relationship between data, action, and change processes? While scholars have examined the effic…
Comparing Conflict-related Sexual Violence
This paper explores knowledge production about sexual violence and highlights the role that comparison, across contexts and between different kinds of knowledge, plays in shaping what we know. It explores the role of strategic knowledge in creating thematic areas of international expertise and draws attention to the roles quantitative evidence and narrative testimony evidence have played in this field of knowledge. The paper addresses the role th…
Embodying Difference
This article explores embodied difference in humanitarianism and peacebuilding by treating women's memoirs as a form of ‘flesh witnessing’. It argues that the essays in the anthology Chasing Misery are claims to the authority of ‘The Field’ that also reveal the women’s feelings of only ‘passing’ as aid workers. Three distinct themes are noted: the construction of The Field as a site of embodied authority and the ways in which the essays reinforce…
The Temporal Dimension in Accounts of Violent Conflict
This article explores the notion of time in relation to the recording of peace and conflict. In particular the article is interested in how concepts of time (linear, seasonal, vague, precise, etc.) shape the narrative of events – giving them an apparent order. A close look at the mechanics of how accounts of conflict are compiled and presented, and how time is represented within them, reveals an ambiguity and social construction of the temporal d…
Modelling Violence as Disease? Exploring the Possibilities of Epidemiological Analysis for Peacekeeping Data in Darfur
This article explores the potential and limitations of epidemiological analyses of violence. We draw on an 18-month sample of Joint Mission Analysis Centres data to identify clusters of armed violence in Darfur and model the risk of armed clashes in space and time. We illustrate the merit of using methods from both descriptive epidemiology and analytical epidemiology to study armed conflict. We observe three interesting correlations. Firstly, tha…

Tensions in UN Information Management
This article argues that there are inherent tensions in information management by UN peacekeeping missions balancing operational data with the creation of an archive documenting human rights abuses. The divergence between demands of peace and justice has been well documented, but little attention has been paid to the production and analysis of data for the provision of security weighed against human rights monitoring. The article focuses on the h…
Data hubris? Humanitarian information systems and the mirage of technology
This article looks at the promise of technology to revolutionise humanitarian action, especially in terms of the gathering and use of data. With many heralding a ‘data revolution’, the opportunities and enthusiasm for using social media and SMS data in crisis response are on the rise. The article constructs an analytical framework in order to scrutinise the three main claims made on behalf of technologically advanced humanitarian information syst…
Language as a middle ground
It has been noted that development literature has overlooked theoretical issues, largely because theory and practice are viewed as separate. This separation is produced in language and can be collapsed. Pin-Fat’s grammatical reading offers a way of thinking about development by ‘staying on the surface of language’. Debates about naming development practices are not purely semantic; they reveal implicit theoretical understandings of what can and s…
