During the war in the Wanni region, a huge displacement took place and several civilians were killed and handicapped.

This study was conducted among the 100 women internally displaced people (IDPs) who were residing at various welfare centers in Vavuniya during the post war period. A judgment sampling and personal interviewing methods were adopted to collect the information accurately and correctly.
