Abstract

This chapter looks into the long-term predicaments of war displacement as experienced by different populations of women and men in the three post-Yugoslav states, pointing to some regionally specific and universally relevant lessons on complex trauma and recovery of wellbeing. It reflects on findings presented in the book with its specific research methods and argues that for forced migrant women, achieving psychosocial wellbeing is not an objective of secondary significance, less important than access to safe shelter/housing, legal status and protection or any other basic human and civilian rights. It is rather deeply linked to struggles for inclusion from peace settlements to accessing full socio-economic rights in a post-conflict period. Forced displacement trauma impacting individual, inter-group and societal recovery further demands psychosocial support services suitable for long-term, gender-sensitive and transgenerational perspective.
