Abstract

Abstract This qualitative study explored the resettlement experiences of women who were internally displaced by northern Uganda's 21 year armed conflict with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Exploration of the ways that women's social, cultural and economic roles and responsibilities were affected by the experiences of armed conflict and internal displacement and women's adaptations reveal profound changes in women's relationships with men, their connection with other women, and challenges with cultural norms. Program developers will gain examples of how conflict and displacement related changes affect women’s socio-economic relationships, land rights, and families' health and well-being.
