Abstract:
When we talk about post conflict reconstructions women must
be involved, because they have important and necessary roles to play in all
the phases of post conflict reconstruction. Arm conflict affected the women
and men differently. Following the death, disappearance or detention or
permanent or temporary disability of the male family member or loss of
documents made to deprived of their sole means of income and are struggling
to meet their daily basic house hold needs. Armed conflict creates large
number of households headed by women. A large number of conflict affected
women has no independent means of income as they have relied
economically on male family members. As a result women are generally
responsible for running the house–holds. Moreover mental pain and suffering
because individual was deprived of all economic resources. Now women are
economic actors, and important in post-conflict period. But legal and social
norms restrict their role in Economic right and fail to encourage their
capacity development. Accordingly law makers and the state have great
responsibility to reconstruct women’s lives and their future. Because during
the war period women have lost lives, property and also documentary
evidence of entitlements and relationships as a result of war. Internal
conflicts and wars have led to displacement and destruction of property and
livelihoods, which place women in an ever more vulnerable position. To
understand the role that women should play in post conflict situation is
largely situated in the roles they played before and during the conflict. In
present situation laws of the country did not recognize their rights special in
economic sector. Due to this women are helpless. In post conflict period
only legal structure and the laws can provide reliefs to women. Accordingly
this article will discuss about how the law can encourage women in their
capacity development in post conflict period.
