March is Women’s Month in Angola. The Angola Field Group invites you to a presentation “Women in Conflict Angola“, Thursday, March 12th, 7:45 PM at the Viking Club. More than two thirds of Angolan families living in certain parts of the country had their home destroyed, and they lost at least one member of their immediate family during the civil war which devastated the country between 1992 and 2002.  Learn more about how the conflict affected women, as well as children, from research conducted during and immediately after the war. Our presenter, Dr. Mary Daly, former Country Director of Christian Children’s Fund, is an Irish medical doctor who has worked in Angola since 1981, specializing in global health and child protection.

 Even young children are haunted by the memories they carry after war has ended.
