Ulrike Krause – författare

Self-organization plays an essential yet often overlooked role in the everyday lives of refugees in exile. By self-organizing, they challenge restrictions, claim political representation, foster social relations and belonging, and create ongoing economic opportunities.While government authorities and aid organizations are supposed to provide protection and assistance, refugees often continue to face adversities, restrictions, and risks, prompting them to establish and maintain their own support systems. Refugee-Led Organizations in Uganda offers nuanced insight into the problems arising from the aid system and especially the significance of the spectrum of informal and formalized self-organizations. Ulrike Krause, Gato Ndabaramiye Joshua, and Hannah Schmidt draw on a gender-sensitive understanding of relational agency and situated knowledge and use empirical research in Uganda’s camp Kyaka II and the capital, Kampala, to reveal how individuals collectively contribute to their own support in times of emergency and in everyday life.Interwoven with reflections written by refugees in Uganda – Bengekya Mugay Gédéon, Noella Kabale, Paul, Janvier Hafasha, and Isreal Katembo, as well as the director of an LGBTQ refugee-led organization – the book centres on individuals’ lived experiences of self-organization in exile.

Although refugee camps are established to accommodate, protect, and assist those fleeing from violent conflict and persecution, life often remains difficult there. Building on empirical research with refugees in a Ugandan camp, Ulrike Krause offers nuanced insights into violence, humanitarian protection, gender relations, and coping of refugees who mainly escaped the conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This book explores how risks of gender-based violence against women, in particular, but also against men, persist despite and partly due to their settlement in the camp and the system established there. It reflects on modes and shortcomings of humanitarian protection, changes in gender relations, as well as strategies that the women and men use to cope with insecurities, everyday struggles, and structural problems occurring across different levels and temporalities.

Providing nuanced accounts of how the social identities of men and women, the context of displacement and the experience or manifestation of violence interact, this collection offers conceptual analyses and in-depth case studies to illustrate how gender relations are affected by displacement, encampment and return. The essays show how these factors lead to various forms of direct, indirect and structural violence. This ranges from discussions of norms reflected in policy documents and practise, the relationship between relief structures and living conditions in camps, to forced military recruitment and forced return, and covers countries in Africa, Asia and Europe.

Der jährliche Fluchtbericht zu einem der drängendsten Probleme unserer ZeitFlucht ist eine globale Herausforderung. Schon das 20. Jahrhundert galt als »Jahrhundert der Flüchtlinge«. Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts ist die Zahl der Schutzsuchenden keineswegs gesunken. Dazu tragen militärische Auseinandersetzungen und bewaffnete Konflikte ebenso bei wie der Zerfall von Staaten und autoritäre politische Systeme, die oppositionelle Handlungen und Nonkonformität im eigenen Land nicht dulden. Auch Klima- und Umweltkatastrophen oder Effekte globaler Ungleichheit werden in politischen, medialen, öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten als Hintergründe von Fluchtbewegungen einbezogen. Der jährliche Fluchtbericht bietet fundiertes Wissen zu den weltweiten Fluchtbewegungen und ihren Folgen. Schwerpunkt 2023 ist die Flucht als Folge des Ukraine-Krieges.
