Conflicts have been a perennial source of change — change that is meant “for good or, for bad”1 and have affected and continue to affect the destinies of people all around the world. Caused by motives ranging from essential human nature to a collective socio-economic and political agenda,2 conflicts have been a part of human life. But where this constant source of turmoil comes to weigh heavily upon the very existence of human life, what erodes the sanctity of life further is the amplitude of violations that transpire in the course of its unfolding.3 The obliteration of human life apart, conflicts have been mired with acts of violence that are often perpetrated with the intention of reducing the opposed “other” into the “spoils of war.” One such case is the violence that is perpetrated along the axis of sexual difference, gender-based roles and their perceptions.
