How does the conflict influence the development and the situation of women in Trincomalee district, Sri Lanka?
Abstract
In thirty years period conflict became as main actor in Sri Lankan socio economic and political
back grounds. As the consequences of the conflict, Sri Lankan mainstreams had harmful
damages. These damages directly affected to the development. North and Eastern province are
most conflict affected regions in Sri Lanka. North was the first conflict affected region. Eastern
is the totally different form when comparing with North. Eastern province is the secondly
conflict affected and conflict vulnerability totally wiped out form the Eastern province. Now
Eastern province is in recovery situation.
How ever women are the most vulnerability group in the conflict period. In this study assessed
women’s situation with conflict situation and post conflict situation in the Eastern province Sri
Lanka. Further this study I have paid more significant concentration women’s hardships with in
the conflict and post conflict period. The most prominent nature of the post conflict period pays
more significantly consideration to achieve rapid development.
This study explains based on the research findings what are the women fundamental
requirements with in the post conflict period. Especially women are also in recovery period in
the post conflict period. They had different type of torture experiences with conflict. They need
specific treatments for their capacity building again. According to the research findings I
discussed WID (Women in Development) as a appropriate women’s development approach to
the post conflict period. Further I emphasis how this theory can apply to obtain effective outcome.
