Abstract / description
This research looks at women's portrayal in the Nigeria-Biafra War and development interventions that aim to aid peacebuilding in post-war Nigeria. Using archival sources, it does so by first analysing and articulating how different actors in print and electronic media during the Nigeria-Biafra War portrayed women and how that shapes the effects of resulting interventions. Secondly, by exploring how these depictions can aid in understanding and navigating gender norms in everyday life.
