Chapter 4 covers how the government and women’s organizations in Liberia responded to violence against women. It explains that prior to the conflict, violence against women was largely absent from the agenda of governments and women’s organizations, despite their involvement in international advocacy around this issue. Both domestic and international pressure on governments was low during this period and specialized mechanisms to address VAW were non-existent in the criminal justice sector. The chapter describes how the 14-year conflict changed this and generated strong international and domestic pressures on post-conflict governments to strengthen the criminal justice sector response to violence against women, particularly sexual violence, and to establish specialized criminal justice sector mechanisms.

During the Civil War, music functioned as a tool by which to gauge the war’s effect on the role and performance of gentility as hostilities and politics in a time of dramatic social change. Many antebellum practices and expectations were altered, including music circulation and transmission, class status, parlor performance, and school programs. Repeated staging of dramatic events in Richmond, public performances featuring ladies or nascent women’s organizations (with no male officers) elsewhere reflected a newfound acceptance in roles hitherto withheld from genteel women. The practicalities of war forced social classes to intermingle in ways that would have been unfathomable before the war.

This paper explores the failure of women’s organizations to effect the improvement of the status of Jordanian women during the Arab Spring. Through an examination of the regime’s political liberalization strategy, leadership failures within women’s organizations, and international donor influence on programmatic focus, the underlying explanation for this failure is found to be rooted in the historical depoliticization of women in Jordan. This is tested in the context of the Arab Spring through an analysis of the results of popular protests, proposed electoral law reforms, and efforts to amend the Jordanian constitution. The paper draws in part on a large collection of interviews and a focus group conducted in Jordan during the spring/summer of 2012, as well as analysis of primary documents from the government and a variety of women’s organizations in Jordan.
