项目摘要

The objectives of the research are to analyze impacts of conflicts on women's health in developing countries, to identify background factors, and to propose possible interventions. Cambodia, Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC), and Sri Lanka were main research targets, and the situations of Afghanistan, Palestine and Myanmar were also examined.In Cambodia, poverty and family conditions, as well as difficult experience during the conflicts, had strong impacts on women's health. Mental health issues mostly remained without any interventions. Women's current situations varied according to their educational levels, native places, etc., even though the women had gone through similar hardships. Widowed or separated women and the hardly-educated urban poor were particularly in difficult conditions. Along with reconstruction and development, new issues arose : i.e., widening gaps between the rich and the poor and newly emerging diseases such as HIV. It is important to develop long term strategie … More s for post-conflict reconstruction.Due to the travel ban to DRC, we collected information in neighboring Kenya. Militias were still active in eastern areas, and severe sexual and physical violence against women, regardless of their age and ethnicity, was rampant.Sri Lanka had achieved a certain level of social development, and women's health and social status were relatively good. However, health situations in northeastern areas were deteriorated because of conflicts. Health facilities were destroyed and health professionals were seriously in shortage. Women, particularly those living in camps of internally displaced people, often suffered from mental health problems and violence.Conflicts have various impacts on women's health according to the nature of conflicts, the level of social development before conflicts, cultural background, international assistance and situation of surrounding countries, progress of economic development, etc. It is needed to make effective interventions on mental health of women, as well as reproductive health and violence against women.

该研究的目的是分析冲突对发展中国家妇女健康的影响，确定背景因素，并提出可能的干预措施。柬埔寨、刚果民主共和国和斯里兰卡是主要研究对象，此外还考察了阿富汗、巴勒斯坦和缅甸的情况。在柬埔寨，贫困和家庭条件以及冲突期间的艰难经历对妇女的健康产生了强烈影响。心理健康问题大多在没有任何干预的情况下仍然存在。尽管妇女经历过类似的苦难，但她们的现状因受教育程度、籍贯等不同而有所不同。丧偶或失散的妇女以及几乎没有受过教育的城市贫民的处境尤其困难。在重建和发展的同时，也出现了新的问题：贫富差距扩大、艾滋病等新疾病的出现。制定冲突后重建的长期战略非常重要。由于刚果民主共和国的旅行禁令，我们在邻国肯尼亚收集了信息。东部地区民兵依然活跃，针对妇女的性暴力和身体暴力严重猖獗，无论其年龄和种族如何。斯里兰卡已取得一定的社会发展水平，妇女健康和社会地位较好。然而，由于冲突，东北地区的卫生状况恶化。卫生设施被毁，卫生专业人员严重短缺。妇女，特别是生活在境内流离失所者营地的妇女，经常遭受心理健康问题和暴力侵害。冲突对妇女健康的影响取决于冲突的性质、冲突前的社会发展水平、文化背景、国际援助和周边国家状况、经济发展进度等。需要对妇女的心理健康、生殖健康和针对妇女的暴力行为进行有效干预。较少的
