Накратко на български
Децата, родени в резултат на сексуално насилие по време на войни в Африка, често остават извън програмите за социално възстановяване. Анализът на техните трудности помага за създаването на насоки за по-добрата им интеграция в обществото и защитата на правата им.

Children and War: Resilience Beyond Programmes
The theorisation of policies that have been directed at reintegrating ex-combatants showed that children born of war in Africa have been left out of DDR programmes by both state and non-state actors. Our study focused on policies that governmental and multinational agencies have applied in DDR after the civil wars in Sierra Leone [1991-2002], northern Uganda [1987-2006], eastern Congo [1998-todate] & Darfur [2004+]. We then identified children living in specific communities to explore their status within the prevailing social systems of groups they live and associate with. The results of these case studies were then reviewed against policies that were used for reintegrating ex-combatants in post conflict African communities. This led to the development of a set of guidelines for the social integration of CBOW. During the return phase (2015/2016), which was hosted by All Saints University Lango, these guidelines were tested and refined in northern Uganda. Findings have been documented in a series of articles that are being peer-reviewed for publications in Journals of social sciences. The project has suggested a framework or set of guidelines to inform the social integration of CBOW as part of post conflict reconstruction in African countries with a history of children born of rape and sexual exploitation during armed conflicts. Dr. Apio’s study findings suggested that CBOW among most African societies faced difficulties negotiating their way through patriarchal customary doctrines of identity that such groups practice. Her exploration further demonstrated the complex web of influence that such customary policies and practices have on the prevailing formal legal systems of child rights nationally and internationally. Dr. Apio disseminated her findings in at least 10 (ten) high-level global meetings throughout 2015 and 2016. Dr. Apio worked with Prof. Sabine Lee and Prof. John C. Oloa to ensure adherence to the ethical issues that were defined for this study. Prof. Lee was the primary advisor to the project and continued to play that role alongside Prof. Oloa during the return phase in northern Uganda.

Цел на проекта
The aim of this fellowship is to develop an integrated theoretical social (re)integration framework for children born of war and their ex-combatant mothers in light of the unique but extreme challenges faced by these children in contemporary African armed conflicts. Five objectives will be pursued, namely; 1. Identify and analyse the situation of “(re)integrated” ex-combatants and their children born out of forced pregnancies and rape by enemy soldiers in post conflict northern Uganda; 2. Identify and analyse the situation of “(re)integrated” ex-combatants and their children in post conflict countries of East Timor, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); 3. Compare social (re)integration policies and practices associated with study communities in Northern Uganda, East Timor, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the DRC; 4. Apply findings to the existent theoretical framework and thus revise and make more effective the social (re)integration approaches to benefit ex-combatants and the children born of war; 5. Participate in international discussions and contribute to building scholarship for improvement of social (re)integration policies and practices globally. Tasks will be accomplished in five phases, namely; preparatory; extensive and elaborate comparative analysis of study communities; in-depth analyses of social (re)integration policies and practices; development of alternative framework(s) for social (re)integration of children born of war and their ex-combatant mothers and the return phase to enable the emerging framework be tested on study communities in Oyam and Otuke districts in northern Uganda and thus, inform further refinement of the framework.
