The Role of Former Female Fighters in the National Resistance Movement
REFNo: SS791ES
During conflict, women step into a number of roles that were traditionally reserved for men--with some women joining rebel forces to fight, others taking up peace activism to combat such fighting, and many stepping into roles that were traditionally held by men. A strong literature has emerged detailing women's violent participation in conflict, as well as the motivations, dynamics, and implications of their action. Through their participation, women are able to experience greater equality with men, in addition to building critical skills and networks. However, little is known about how former rebel women build on these experiences post-conflict. Instead, much of the literature suggests that former rebel women experience significant marginalization after conflict, minimizing their future opportunities. Such patterns seem further at odds with patterns of rebel-group-to-political-party transformations. In this project, I have two main objectives. I seek to understand the post-conflict fate of former female fighters and how it relates to former rebel party politics. I ask if and how former female fighters are able to build on their conflict experiences and networks to access positions of political power in the post-conflict environment. Further, I seek to understand broader patterns in which women are elected after conflict. To understand these dynamics, I intend to collect systematic candidate data in Uganda and will complement this will a qualitative analysis based on interviews with former female combatants for the National Resistance Army.
