[...] The statements made and views expressed in this paper are solely the responsibility of the author and do not represent the views of the Wilson Center or the Carnegie Corporation of New York. [...] By meaningfully including the voices and agency of diverse women in refugee settlements—including youth and women with disabilities—peace parties, supporters of the R-ARCSS, and Uganda and South Sudan stand to reap the benefits of sustained peace.
