Full papers invited by: 1 August 2024
Full papers sent to IRRC by: 15 January 2025
Edition published: December 2025
Gender and sexuality are central to an individual’s experience of armed conflict. Preexisting structural inequalities and complex power dynamics can worsen and shift during war. So, too, can the relationships among intersecting identities and sources of risk, such as age, disability, race, ethnicity, and religion, among others.
Call for proposals
The Review calls for proposals on gender, sexuality and armed conflict, for publication in December 2025. We particularly value proposals with a forward-looking perspective that offer recommendations to address current legal and humanitarian problems, as well as proposals that develop innovative and creative arguments that could impact future legal and policy debates.
Submitting your proposal
We invite interested individuals to submit an abstract of maximum 500 words and a biography of not more than 300 words by 27 June 2024. If invited to submit a paper, the target length is between 8,000 and 10,000 words (including footnotes). However, we are open to proposals for other formats (opinion notes, case notes focusing on recent national or regional jurisprudence, etc.). Our selection process will prioritize innovative proposals with clear potential to contribute to and advance legal and policy debates in the years ahead.
In the abstract, please include the following:
- title;
- main arguments you intend to develop; and
- an explanation of how your topic innovatively contributes to the existing literature and fits within the Review’s editorial line (for further reference, please consult our Guidelines for Authors).
Please send these materials in a single Word document to [email protected]. Note that, in line with our ongoing commitment to provide space for a diverse array of voices in this field, we encourage submissions by established and emerging voices alike, as well as by people from groups historically underrepresented in the Review’s pages.
You will be notified as to the status of your proposal by 1 August 2024. If invited to submit a full-length article, a draft of your completed article will be due by 15 January 2025.
A jury will review submissions to this edition, the membership of which will be announced by 1 August.
