Struggle for Recovery: Women’s Stories from Northern Uganda

Video Embed Url:

Women’s lives in northern Uganda have been shaped by the decades-long war between the government of Uganda and the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The war stopped a decade ago, but the effects continue to reverberate in the lives of women. Their stories illuminate what continues to hold them back and what must be transformed to enable northern Uganda and its women to move forward.

ASSOCIATED RESEARCH PROJECTS

The Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people in conflict-affected situations make a living, access basic services like health care, education and water, and perceive and engage with governance at local and national levels.

This project seeks to provide timely, precise, and insightful documentary evidence and analysis, drawing on our investigation into how victims and survivors view and experience these justice mechanisms. We aim to inform the processes as well as policies and responses that emerge as the processes unfold.
