Abstract

“I am still waiting to get land for resettlement. The land I have is situated in the so-called ‘buffer zone’. I have two daughters and we are now living in an unsafe situation, as it is not safe for young girls to live in temporary huts like this. I am really worried about the future of my children.” These plaintive words come from Johara Hamy, one of the 90,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) now living in camps in Sri Lanka. She is a woman leader of District Fisheries Solidarity (DIFSO) and a tsunami victim from Pothuwil, Ampara, on the east coast of the country.
