Autonomous weapons and gender-based violence describes gender-based violence (GBV) and how it relates to the militarised masculinities and mission of the patriarchy. It looks at the connections between the possession and use of weapons and the commission of acts of GBV, unpacking in particular arguments about autonomous weapons and sexual violence. Looking at the challenges that autonomous weapons will pose to accountability for violence, among other things, the paper also explores the relationship between these weapons and the broader culture of impunity inherent in gendered violence.
