Navigating Identity: A Study on Birth Registration and Document Issuance for Children Born of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Uganda
REFNo: SS6324ES
This study aims at examining the legal and administrative social barriers preventing children born of conflict related sexual violence (CRSV) and their mothers from obtaining official birth registration and identification across two sub-regions; Acholi and Karamoja and two districts; Kasese and Kampala. The research specifically evaluates the implementation gaps within the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) directive, comparing formal policy provisions against the lived realities of survivors to reveal how structural issues like administrative inconsistencies and patrilineal social stigma suffocates access to identity documents and basic human rights. Ultimately, by capturing perspectives from children born of CRSV, survivor mothers, government officials and civil society organisations , the study seeks to analyse gendered experiences, establish an evidence base for survivor led advocacy and propose actionable policy reforms and good practice models that improve civil registration systems both nationally within Uganda and internationally in other post conflict settings to ensure a wholesome realisation of the basic human rights of children born of CRSV.
