The post war moment: Female fighters in Sierra Leone

Women in Sierra Leone have many different experiences of war.
Description
They have perhaps both been victims and perpetrators, civilians and combatants, some by force, some for survival and others by choice. In postwar society many of these women are quite unsure of their legal status.
Most of them keep quiet about what has happened to them or what they have done in the war, for fear of stigmatisation and revenge. These young women have more or less come of age, become adults, during a period of war and conflict. This has, no doubt, influenced their lives in a multitude of ways but can also reveal something on a more general level about gender and war and of how war affects gender relations in postwar society.

This paper traces the situation of young formerly abducted women in the midst of emotional and economic suffering, and analyzes their experiences of the demilitarization, demobilisation and reintegration process (DDR), as well as issues of reintegration.
