The Inter Press Service reports on a conference on “Women and War” that was held to address how violent conflict impacts women and possible ways to prevent such atrocities. Gary Barker, director of gender, violence and rights at the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), is quoted saying that campaigns that deconstruct what it means to be a man can be an effective way to combat gender-based violence.
