Tabitha Naisiko: “We are reduced to women” …. “We are just mere rats”: Reflections on the Post Disarmament Livelihood Sources and Gender Disparities in the Karamoja Region of Uganda
The outcries of the men in the title are due to an anthropological lack in the post-disarmament development strategies. This specifically applies to the mismanagement of gender relations. The Karamoja Question persists because the post-disarmament development organizations prioritize women as change agents. This approach created gender disparities that resulted in a masculinities crisis. Consequently, gender as a social structure became dysfunctional and women have ended up being overwhelmed with both productive and reproductive roles while men are grappling with alcohol, violence, and social lethargy. These conditions impede sustainable development. Anthropologically, gender is a vibrant social structure that determines the system of community governance and management of resources. Therefore, development interventions ought to analyse and incorporate accepted gender relations if they are to succeed in their programs. To resolve the distress, it is recommended that the development agencies integrate social norms to enable hybrid approaches that will be socially acceptable. This is because all matters of the Karamojong lifestyle revolve around participation and respect through dialogue and consensus.
Die Käte Hamburger Lectures bieten einen Einblick in die aktuellen Forschungsarbeiten des Kollegs, tragen diese in die Universität hinein und laden die interessierte Öffentlichkeit zu einer Diskussion über kulturelle Praktiken der Reparation ein.
