A mulher desmobilizada: um estudo sobre a desmobilização e reintegração da mulher na cidade de Maputo

Abstract

Based on a case study in Maputo City, through bibliographical and documental research, associated with fieldwork, we intend to understand how the ex-military woman took part in the demobilization process and in the reintegration programs that took place within the scope of General Peace Agreement. Regarding the demobilization of ex-military women in the city of Maputo, we found that: (i) other bodies linked to the demobilization and reintegration process were not aware of the functioning of the work committees due to lack of information; (ii) because they are a smaller number than demobilized men, their demobilization and reintegration deserved little attention; (iii) because they were recruited very young, without any relevant training and have remained in the army for a long time, demobilized women are barely able to find work or develop any activity that allows them to obtain income for self-sufficiency; (iv) as they are women with family responsibilities and of advanced ages, they are subject to various discriminations (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
