The book explores Congolese male experience of conflicted-related sexual victimization as it intersects with the traditional male code. To shed light on this complex and multidimensional subject, the book starts with exploring the historical context of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo from the ethnicity and pre-colonial period to the current state of war and instability. There is a deepening of the historical origin and impact of the female-centric approach to sexual violence and lack of visibility for male victims. There is also an exploration of the nature and typology of sexual violence against men, to highlight the full scope of wartime sexual violence and atrocity committed against men. To better understand male sexual victimization experience, men's cultural context and socialization were integrated to deepen the subject matter. Finally, Viktor Frankl's theory of existential analysis is incorporated in the discussion to understand Participants' experiences.
