“…Paramilitary members “policed” and acted as gatekeepers in their communities and there is some documentation that women who sought help for IPV from paramilitary organizations exchanged sexual “favors” in return ( McWilliams, 1997 ). At least one female former PIRA member has spoken publicly about her experience of rape and sexualized coercive control by the commander of her unit ( Theatre of Witness, 2010 ).…”

“…Nonstate Actors/Paramilitaries. While statistics show that men were the main victims of murder, (91% of those killed were male (Fitzduff & O'Hagan, 2009), a small number of targeted killings of women related to the conflict have been identified. Jean McConville was abducted and killed in 1972 allegedly for being accused of being an informer (deemed groundless by the Police Ombudsman in 2006) or relatedly, for offering assistance to a British soldier wounded outside her home, with accusations of blame for her killing leveled at the PIRA (Kennedy, 2001, p. 5).…”

The “Troubles” in Northern Ireland are often assumed to represent an outlier in respect of contemporary global discourse on conflict-related violence against women (CRVAW), and particularly “strategic rape.” CRVAW has neither commanded the narrative nor imagery of that conflict nor specifically recognized globally as part of women's experiences of it. A composite and comprehensive analysis of CRVAW for that context has been absent. Based on primary and secondary research, and analytically advanced through gender and critical harm theory, the article presents the first typology of CRVAW for the Northern Ireland Troubles. The article maps and evidences a range of gendered harms directly and indirectly resulting from the conflict enacted by state and nonstate actors. It argues that a resurfacing of gender is required to ensure current global debates on CRVAW are informed by a reconsideration of what constitutes “strategic” harm in armed conflict.
