鈥淧rosecution Will Not Solve My Problems:鈥� Women鈥檚 Senses of Justice and Reparations After Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Northern Uganda | University of British Columbia
March 4, 2022 | After living through war, abduction, sexual and gender-based violence, some female survivors in Northern Uganda escaped rebel captivity. Many returned to their communities with children fathered by rebels. Instead of being embraced, community members met survivors and their children with suspicion, rejection, blame and stigmatization. That began a new chapter of hardship in the survivors鈥� lives.
In this podcast, formerly abducted women and organizations representing them talk about what justice is to them, demanding the Ugandan government acknowledge the harms they endure.
Ketty Anyeko, a Postdoctoral Fellow with听Research Network on Women, Peace and Security听at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, takes us through her doctoral research findings. She presents four senses of justice as lived articulated by survivors of sexual violence in Northern Uganda. She collaborated with UBC Master of Journalism student Michelle Meiklejohn to create this podcast.
A policy brief, 鈥淧rosecution Will Not Solve My Problems:鈥� Women鈥檚 Senses of Justice and Reparations After Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Northern Uganda, by Ketty Anyeko, Evelyn Amony and Angela Atim Lakor accompanies the podcast.听
