Kitgum District, northern Uganda has experienced over twenty years
of armed conflict with high levels of sexual violence. Few studies
have investigated the health and justice responses to such human
rights abuses. This book addresses this need. Interviews were
carried out with former abductees of a rebel group known as the
Lord's Resistance Army, and with health and justice professionals.
The findings reveal that Kitgum still suffers high levels of sexual
violence. As a result of their conflict and post-conflict
experiences the population experiences severe physical and
psychological effects. The state health and legal systems are so
poorly resourced, that they struggle to address these survivors'
needs. This thought-provoking book provides a novel analysis of the
subject in addition to health and justice policy recommendations.
It will be of interest to academics, researchers, policy makers and
clinicians. International non-government and development
organizations will also find the text useful. All of the royalties
from the book sales will be sent to the former abductees and their
children born in captivity.
