The articles in this Special Issue - partly in support of the UN Secretary-General's call - investigate academic and practical perspec- tives in varied threads of the nexus between both crimes in times of conflict. This Special Issue illustrates the manifold predicaments which exist in looking at conflict-related sexual violence and human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation in concert, despite the progress that has been made in recent decades towards a climate of international criminal justice for both crimes separately. The articles ofthis Journal's Special Issue are grouped to categorically confront the nexus between both crimes accordingly, namely based on (legal) definitions of the crimes (Section i); prevention (section two); legal redress (Section 4); and case studies (Section 4). In light ofthe importance and urgency of the matter, together with the Journal's main editor, Nicole Siller, we decided that the production of this Special Issue should be quick. Abstract submissions came by i June 2018 and it took 'only' half a year until this Special Issue was published in January 2019. This collection includes contributions from academ- ics and practitioners from different fields of expertise and backgrounds, with the idea to bridge both worlds and to come to a better understanding of the is- sues involved. In the first section on definitions, Ghafoerkhan, Scholte, De Volder and De Brouwer's article examines the nexus between conflict-related sexual violence and trafficking for sexual exploitation in situations of conflict from a psycholo- gical and legal perspective. In general, but in particular during conflict, being victimized by sexual violence once, can put individuals at risk for similar or other forms of sexual re-victimization. For a victim who endured sexual violence, context hardly matters for its psychological impact. Therefore, the authors argue that from a psychological viewpoint there is no justification for a clear-cut dis- tinction between CRSV and THB for purposes of sexual exploitation. Yet, from a legal perspective, this differentiation does matter: the legal definitions form the basis for the prosecution of perpetrators on the one hand and for access to * DOI 10-7590/2452277l9X15476235096490 2452-2775 2019 Journal ofTrafficking and Human Exploitation Journal of Trafficking and Human Exploitation 2019-1
