The "Troubles" in Northern Ireland are often assumed to represent an outlier in respect of contemporary global discourse on conflict-related violence against women (CRVAW), and particularly "strategic rape." CRVAW has neither commanded the narrative nor imagery of that conflict nor specifically recognized globally as part of women's experiences of it. A composite and comprehensive analysis of CRVAW for that context has been absent. Based on primary and secondary research, and analytically advanced through gender and critical harm theory, the article presents the first typology of CRVAW for the Northern Ireland Troubles. The article maps and evidences a range of gendered harms directly and indirectly resulting from the conflict enacted by state and nonstate actors. It argues that a of gender is required to ensure current global debates on CRVAW are informed by a reconsideration of what constitutes "strategic" harm in armed conflict.
北爱尔兰的“麻烦”通常被认为是当代全球有关冲突相关暴力侵害妇女行为（CRVAW），尤其是“策略性强奸”的讨论中的一个例外。CRVAW 既没有主导那场冲突的叙述和形象，也没有被全球公认为是妇女经历冲突的一部分。对于这种情况，没有进行综合全面的 CRVAW 分析。本文通过主要和次要研究，并通过性别和关键伤害理论进行分析，为北爱尔兰问题提出了 CRVAW 的第一个类型学。本文通过地图和证据展示了一系列由国家和非国家行为者实施的冲突直接和间接导致的性别伤害。它认为，需要进行性别分析，以确保当前关于 CRVAW 的全球辩论能够重新考虑在武装冲突中什么构成“策略性”伤害。
