Hidden Wars is a book I have been waiting to read. It superbly captures the power dynamics shaping the narratives of sexual and gender-based violence in conflict-affected areas of Asia, and challenges us to listen to the silences, the enormous scars inflicted on women, difficult to forget but too dangerous and painful to speak about. The book provides useful insights to remedy the politics of reporting and end impunity for the violence that has shattered too many lives.
