War is not over when it's over
In this book the author works with the International Rescue Committee to investigate what happens to women because of warfare. She gave cameras to women to document their lives and conditions. Her descriptions of women, when given these cameras, who had never even seen one before and the empowerment it brings them will bring a smile to any face. She relates what happened in Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Congo, Burmese refuges in Thailand, and Iraqi refugees in parts of the middle east. In some instances the project seemed to be successful in lessening the violence that happens to women: but the main effect of reading this book will be to show that with peace, many times violence still comes home to women and children. They are forgotten after war.
