This book explores the lived realities of marginalization, child abduction, forced marriage, and gender-based violence in Uganda through both historical context and deeply personal narratives. Centering on the civil war in Northern Uganda (1986–2008), it examines how the brutality of the Lord's Resistance Army and the Ugandan government's response led to mass displacement, social ostracization, and enduring hiddenness.Hiddenness here spans age, gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation - shaped by systemic exclusion, poverty, and conflict-related violence. The authors trace how successive regimes fueled ethnic division and dehumanization, setting the stage for extreme violence.Combining macro-level analysis with micro-level testimonies, the book brings to light voices long silenced: survivors, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and even perpetrators. It offers scholars, historians, policymakers, and practitioners a vital lens into one of the world's longest-running conflicts, and the lasting shadows it casts today.
