Introduction: despite efforts to address issues of gbv in conflict and post conflict areas and to raise awareness of these issues, gbv continues to be a major problem, in many conflict settings throughout the world, women continue to experience gender targeted violence such as rape, sexual slavery, and a host of other human rights abuses, as part of military campaigns and as a result of the breakdown of community norms which tend to accompany armed conflicts, women remain vulnerable to violence following an armed conflict, as research indicates a strong rise in domestic violence, sex trafficking, and forced prostitution in post conflict areas, this article aims to provide a brief overview of gbv in conflict and post conflict settings, with a particular focus on recent international standard setting developments and the continuing challenges of impunity and inadequate services for gbv victims.
