The response of Darfurian women to the realities of their situation in internally displaced people (IDP) camps is consistent with their ability to cope throughout life in their socially ascribed gender roles and responsibilities. Embedding the study of unpaid care work within a feminist perspective centers the roles of Darfurian women in sustaining and reproducing life and society in a major conflict setting. In the Darfur case study, a feminist ethics of care provides a suitable theoretical approach for research and post-conflict peacebuilding for several reasons. With help from local leaders and the research assistants, the author described the purpose of the study to the women. Recounting what happened during wartime was very painful for the Darfurian women. The group discussions in the IDP camps in Darfur focused on whether women considered that they have relevant knowledge and ideas on what should be done during the peacebuilding process, including activities, needs, roles, and leadership. |
