“…The displaced people face unreliable access to basic services including health care (Williams et al, 2013). People living in conflict zones, such as the Karen, have higher mortality rates irrespective of malaria incidence (Lee et al, 2006). The construction of China's Three Gorges Dam resulted in the relocation of 1.3 million people.…”

“…Women in Burma residing in Thailand -as either refugees or migrants -also face tremendous challenges to obtaining high quality, comprehensive reproductive health services and are at heightened risk of sexual exploitation and violence (Mullany, Lee, Yone et al, 2008;Crawford, 2005;Maung and Belton, 2005;Belton and Maung, 2004). The efforts of a large number of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community based organizations (CBOs) have not been sufficient to meet the overwhelming needs of women on both sides of the border (Hobstetter, Sietstra, Walsh, et al, 2015;Gedeon, Hsue, Walsh, et al, 2015;Sietstra, 2012;Hobstetter, Walsh, Leigh et al, 2012;Lee, Mullany, Richards et al, 2006).…”

Abstract:For over half a century, political conflict combined with an overall lack of economic development has resulted in the displacement of millions of people both within Eastern Burma and to neighbouring Thailand. Given the overarching context, in conflict-affected regions of Burma, women face tremendous challenges in trying to obtain high quality, comprehensive reproductive health services. Drawing from interviews we conducted in Tak province, Thailand with 31 migrant and refugee women from Burma, this article explores women's lived experiences along the border and focuses on the ways that complex, overlapping barriers impact women's reproductive health decision-making at different points in their reproductive lives. Our results show that reproductive experiences are highly dependent on the woman's place of living mixed with her legal status and financial resources. Combined with socio-cultural taboos and externalized and internalized stigma, these dynamics blend to place constraints on women's autonomy and self-actualization. The way in which women's experiences are shaped by these barriers offers insights into priorities for education and programming to help improve reproductive health services in this protracted conflict setting.

“…As a result, conflict regions and their dynamics will be misunderstood or never identified at all, which in turn might lead to a narrowed research agenda. This can have severe consequences when the international policy community examines the available policies in the decision to intervene or not (Lee et al, 2006).…”

A methodological note on quantitative field research in conflict zones: get your hands dirty

Research in areas affected by armed conflict presents many challenges beyond those normally encountered by social scientists. This enhanced complexity has resulted in the conventional academic view that serious quantitative field research has to wait until the fighting stops. Those studies that were conducted in a conflict area fail to discuss how insecurity affects the methodological side of the research process. In this article, the authors argue that valid and reliable quantitative fieldwork is possible even in the most dangerous contexts, but it requires some methodological flexibility. In discussing this flexibility, the authors devote attention to two major components of quantitative survey research: the sampling process and the data collection. In doing so, this article focuses in particular on face-to-face interviews as the mode of data collection.
