original description

Like many women Lofo's home was destroyed during the war in Liberia. Armed conflict displaces women from families and livelihoods. Women often have to cope with the loss of close relatives and find new way to support themselves. The ICRC works to understand the specific needs of women displaced by war, in order to better help them.This film excerpt is from a longer film that tells the story of five women displaced by conflict in Colombia, Liberia and Sudan. Although the contexts are different, the challenges these women face bear striking similarities. ICRC, 2007.
