ABSTRACT This article focuses on the testimony of twelve British-Pakistani women living in Oldham, drawn from a larger study about British-Pakistani women's relationship with formal and informal labour, between 1962-2002. These interviewees were either homeworkers for the garment industry or were the children of homeworkers. Homeworking is the practice of ‘doing paid employment in the home… for an employer, with little control over the way the work is done’. This work was inherently exploitative, given the long hours and menial pay. Nonetheless, my interviewees revealed that they were not passive victims of economic exploitation, despite being amongst the lowest paid workers in twentieth century Britain. Their testimony highlighted how resistance took many forms, as women managed the demands of waged labour with family responsibilities. Alongside small-scale acts of resistance taking place in homes across Britain, formalised activist campaigns emerged from the mid-1970s, with the purpose of informing homeworkers about their employment rights and changing labour laws. A long-held problem for campaigners-who were often white and middle-class- was reaching migrant women. By the 1990s, sources suggest that campaigns addressed this issue by employing South Asian activists, who were often better positioned to build connections with South Asian homeworkers.

pain and that by the twentieth century talking about pain, these pain stories were no longer seen as having any value by doctors. I wondered was there a similar situation in relation to sexual violence and the kind of pain and harms caused by sexual violence in terms of the medic ’ s language and psychiatrist ’ s language? Has that changed over time and what are the consequences of that?

ABSTRACT In 2011, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, the former Rwandan Minister of Family and Women’s Development, became the first woman convicted of genocide in an international criminal trial, and the first convicted of rape as a crime against humanity. Nyiramasuhuko’s case complicates portrayals of Rwandan women as peace-loving victims of violence, a representation often used to explain women’s post-genocide socio-political gains. Drawing on archival records from her trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, this article explores how African history and legal-historical perspectives are necessary to understand this landmark trial and judgment, in particular the gendered narratives that permeate the case and its coverage. Situating Nyiramasuhuko’s case within an historical moment when gendered violence was emerging as an object of international concern, and within the Rwandan social, historical, and cultural milieu, it argues that Nyiramasuhuko’s self-presentation, as well as witness testimonies, are suffused with gendered narratives. Nyiramasuhuko rendered herself as a wife and mother, claiming that these roles precluded her participation in sexualised violence. Her detractors, in contrast, emphasised her cruelty and ambition, drawing on historical tropes about powerful women. Historicising the case in local and international perspectives is essential for understanding how gender is mobilised in accounts of genocidal sexual violence.
