For a long time, the topic of sexual violence against men in wartime has been overlooked. Human rights activists and some medical NGOs have acknowledged the presence of sexual violence against men during wars in former Yugoslavia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the early 2000s, researchers began to investigate sexual assaults on men, and at the same time tried to explain why NGOs and UN agencies have rarely addressed male victims. We examine these studies and the explanations they give for approaches focusing exclusively on sexual violence against women.
