Many didn't recover and Theatre of Witness was set up to give women a voice. (Each woman in the room then stood and gave their lived experience – in their own words from those where were fighters to those who lost sons/husbands/neighbours and homes) a very powerful example of how the therapeutic nature of talking with those who could be seen as enemies gives women a voice. this type of inclusive event where women talk without judgement can be replicated in many areas of traditional war as well as conflict brought about by cultural difference (and for example the indigenous people trying to reclaim their roots or black lives matters campaign) look at how this style of event can be replicated in other...
