1) International courts came to agreement that gender based acts of violence, such as rape, constitute a crime against humanity.

2)  When gender is erased from the picture it removes the why, what, and how of the incident as well as ting to be uniform in care but also recognizing biological differences between men and women, gender differences and how that changes treatment, care, and outcome.

3) Human rights activists have been championing to address violence against women since the 1980s which later turned into “gender based violence” so that it would broaden the scope to include any gender.

Three points I followed up on to advance my understanding of emergency response was how other countries report and treat rape, rape as a war crime- is it treated or ignored and in what countries, and incidents of sexual violence that get reported and treated, and further care ( how to help others immediately) and how to respond to these events.

Three ways the argument is supported is through explanations of what humantarism is and its types and explaining the backround of sexual violence and how it is the perfect scapegoat. The article uses MSF's history of treatment in the Congo and toher countries and points out the high incidients of rape. The artilce also uses meetings and quotes that describe sexual violence as a staple issue to explain the argument.

THe main findings/arguments in this article is what is humantiariasm in the face of sexual violence. How sexual violence became the perfect goal for human rights activists (medical outreach) to address. The article explains human rights movements in African countries and exemplifies what happens to those who live in war strewn countries; how sexual assualt and rape are crimes, specifically to women and the questino if men and those who are transgender are excluded and how to fix it.

Her research has focused in the broadest sense on what it means to make political claims in the name of a universal humanity: she has been interested in what these claims tell us about universalisms and difference, about who can be a political subject, on what basis people are included and excluded from communities, and how inequalities get instituted or perpetuated in this process.
