Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have both
been recently entrenched in genocide and civil war, with members of
ethnic minorities ritually attacked and killed in an effort to
annihilate the entire ethnic group. Rwanda and the DRC also share a
history of colonial rule. This work begins with an examination of
the effects of colonization on indigenous people, with an
exploration of the effects of colonization on genocide. Next, the
effects that modern warfare has on women's health and well-being
are explored, beginning with the general concepts of colonization
and war, moving specifically to the experiences of women affected
by the wars in Rwanda and the DRC. The ways that the health and
well-being of these women have been affected by war are explored,
and possible links these effects have to a history of colonial rule
are examined. Informed by interviews with survivors and and
in-depth literature review, this work transcends mere criticism of
these wars and offers suggestions that may help influence policy,
humanitarian aid, and the establishment of contextually appropriate
relief efforts in future times of crisis.
