 Hi, my name is Grace Drango. I am a PhD candidate at the University of Witwaters Rand in South Africa. My research examines the impact of conflict on gender roles and household dynamics among South Sudanese refugees in Nairobi. My initial findings have revealed that some of the refugee women experience intimate partner violence as they navigate changes in gender roles and take up roles as heads of households and as the men reassert their authority at the household level. This was especially noted when there was a lack of economic empowerment programs that specifically targeted the men. One of the main recommendations is the need to strengthen coordination and commitment among the various agencies and actors in an effort to advance equity and inclusivity among refugees and other marginalized groups.
