Joshua Akintayo has co-authored (with Emeka Njoku and Idris Mohammed) the journal article: Sex trafficking and sex-for-food/money: terrorism and conflict-related sexual violence against men in the Lake Chad region.
It is in the Journal Conflict, Security & Development, Volume 22 2022 – Issue 1.
The article examines the nexus between sex, sexuality, power and dominance in explaining the dynamics and patterns of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) against Men and boys in the Lake Chad Basin and Northeast Nigeria. Utilizing field accounts from state and non-state actors to exploit the socioeconomic vulnerabilities of men and boys, the article provides empirical context for the male gender’s vulnerability to CRSV. It thus highlights the need to reconsider common understandings of masculine immunity to sexual violence.
