Abstract

ABSTRACT How did women’s wartime labour in the National Resistance Army during the Bush War in Uganda influence their post-war political opportunities? Women’s inclusion served a practical purpose of alleviating recruitment and governance challenges. This article argues women’s wartime inclusion had subsequent effects on women’s representation — likely also driven by practicality rather than feminist change. Newly collected data on the political roles of former rebels following the war are examined to understand how women's political representation increased alongside changes in the representation of former rebels.
