الملخص

This study was conducted to explore the socio-economic status quo of the displaced women from southern Sudan in Khartoum State, the impact of the displacement on these women, and the strategies they adopted to cope with the situation. The study was conducted in Soba Aradi squatter area and Wed El Bashir (WEB) camp in Khartoum State. Ninety respondents were selected using the purposive sample method. Forty five from each of the above mentioned areas, the reason was to see how the displaced women from officially designated camps and in squatter areas cope with the crisis of displacement. The study revealed that, regardless of national and international efforts, the situation of the displaced women is absurd; they carried out marginal economic activities, some of which brought them in to conflict with the law. They also earned very low incomes which affected their decision making abilities. The study also indicated that the lack of capital and proper marketing avenues barred these women from progressing in business. Despite some relief assistance, the displaced have suffered from starvation, diseases, lack of proper accommodation apart from moral and psychological suffering due to social and family structures disintegration. Although the informal sector has offered to many displaced women settled in/and around urban Khartoum new opportunities expanding their decision making ability at home, gained new skills in business and helped them gain self-confidence in the economic activities, the majority still lack business knowledge and legal procedures to avoid municipal and police harassments. The results clearly indicated that most of the displaced women from the south mainly depend on brewing beer which has ever brought them into conflict with the law. The value of education or awareness is also high among southern women. Lack of capital and proper marketing avenues hinder the women from progressing in business. The study ends with some recommendations including; training programmes for the displaced women, by NGOs and the government, for capacity building should be developed and introduced, to enable them to acquire marketable skills to secure better paying jobs, the provision of health & education facilities, and women empowerment through awareness raising and group mobilization to be able to obtain loans and venture in to relatively bigger businesses than depending on petty trade
