Welcome

This is the website for the research project 'Protectorate of Silence', which is led by Dr Anissa Daoudi at the University of Birmingham. Focusing on the experience of women survivors of sexual violence and rape committed during the Civil War, and working closely with civil rights activists at an NGO in Algeria, Daoudi’s research has shaped the transitional justice fora for female survivors.
