Sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) is a major threat to women's
participation in development efforts. This work examines the impact
of displacement on gender relations and SGBV in patriarchal and
post-conflict Northern Uganda. More than 20 years of civil war
between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda
have left their mark on the Acholi people. As a consequence of
massive displacement, a large number of men have failed to live up
to traditional notions of masculinity, whilst many Acholi girls and
women have experienced sexual violence perpetrated both by soldiers
and civilians. Through an assessment of local perceptions and
experiences of rape, forced sex between intimate partners and
transactional sex, this work sheds light on some of the causes of
SGBV and the circumstances in which it occurs. It also addresses
ways in which SGBV can be prevented, drawing on the experience of
various NGO professionals in the field.
