Beatrice Mugambe
ABSTRACT: The study aims to investigate the role of women during the armed conflict in Luwero Triangle, Uganda and in the governance of a post-conflict society. The data collection tools used are interviews, focus group discussions and documentation reviews. The study findings indicate that during the armed conflict in Luwero Triangle, women played an important role. In addition, the women were marginalized in the post-conflict governance. The study recommends that the post-conflict governments in Uganda should recognize the various roles played by women during situations of armed conflict and give due consideration as regards the appointive office.
