Für heute habe ich keine aktuellen News.
Das Kriegsgeschehen und Corona dominieren die Nachrichten und Geschlechterthemen kommen nur sporadisch mal vor.
Aber falls euch dennoch etwas auffällt was hier hinein passt, würde ich mich über einen Hinweis freuen.

Vergewaltigungen von Männern werden häufig als Kriegswaffe eingesetzt. Ebenfalls in den Gebieten der ehemaligen Sowjetunion.
Angesichts des Krieges in der Ukraine habe ich eine ältere Studie herausgesucht:
Male Rape and Human Rights von Lara Stemple
In dieser heisst es ab Seite 8
Male rape also occurs in situations of armed conflict. Although these
circumstances often include the rape of those detained in prisons or
prison-like conditions, a discussion separate from prisoner rape is
merited. In armed conflict, perpetrators are more likely to be captors
from opposition forces, whereas in the domestic prisoner rape context,
the perpetrators are most often, though not exclusively, other inmates.
The heightened political tensions during armed conflict and the
frequently lengthy sentences carried out in domestic prisons are other
important contextual distinctions.
Early research on violence during conflict situations was
predominantly gender-blind, often ignoring women's experiences
altogether. Later analysis that began to attend to gender portrayed men
solely as aggressors and perpetrators, and women as peacekeepers and
victims. So marked has this distinction been, that even men who fall as
casualties during wartime are held up as emblematic of heroic
masculinity.
Some scholars have begun to question this oversimplification of sex
roles during armed conflict, arguing that it strips women of their political
agency during periods of turmoil, misses women who are open
supporters of conflict, and fails to account for female combatants.
I argue that this essentializing of sex roles also fails to acknowledge
male victims of sexual violence during armed conflict. Civil society has
been particularly slow to address the concerns of these victims. For
instance, one review found that 4076 nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs) around the world address rape during wartime and other forms
of political sexual violence. Of these, only 3% mention the experience
of males in their informational materials, typically as a passing
reference.
Similarly, professionals who encounter male sexual abuse victims
frequently fail to treat them accordingly. Physicians and aid workers are
often "not trained to recognize the physical sequelae" of rape in men or
to provide psychological counseling to male victims. Many are unaware
of the forms of sexual abuse men may experience.
This lack of attention to sexual abuse of men during conflict is
particularly troubling given the widespread reach of the problem. It has
been documented throughout the world, including in Chile, Greece,
Croatia, Sri Lanka, El Salvador, Iran, Kuwait, the former Soviet
Union, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the former Yugoslavia.
For example, an astonishing 76% of male political prisoners
surveyed in El Salvador in the 1980s reported at least one instance of
sexual torture.
