This book explores what happened when the tens of thousands of girls
(now women) abducted by Lord’s Resistance Army and inducted into
their campaign of violence against the Ugandan government, returned
home. Drawing on extensive original research, the author considers the
challenges which the formerly abducted women have encountered upon
their return, the strategies which have been used to aid their
reintegration, and the enduring stigma of abduction which they
continue to suffer from. The author demonstrates that ‘home’, a
place of hope and comfort, can also be a hostile environment which
leaves formerly abducted women in precarious and vulnerable
situations. The many shortcomings in the reintegration process have
serious implications for the prospects of post-conflict
reconstruction. Analysing reintegration as a long-term and dynamic
process which involves complex negotiations and exchanges between
hosting communities and formerly abducted women, this book will be of
interest to scholars, policymakers and practitioners working in the
fields of post-conflict reconstruction, African politics and gender
and conflict.
