This article proposes to study the plight of women in conflict zones through the lens of social network analysis. We endorse the novel idea of building a social network within troubled regions to assist in understanding the structure of women’s communities and identifying key individuals and groups that will help rebuild and empower the lives of women. Our main argument is that we can better understand the complexity of a society with quantitative measures using a network analysis approach. Given the foundation of this paper, one can develop a model that will represent the connections between women in these communities. This model can then support work aiming to help women in zones of conflict.

利用社会网络分析研究冲突地区的妇女社区

本文建议通过社会网络分析的角度研究冲突地区妇女的困境。我们赞同在受灾地区建立社会网络以帮助理解妇女社区的结构并确定有助于重建和赋予妇女生活权能的关键个人和群体这一新颖想法。我们的主要论据是，我们可以使用网络分析方法通过量化措施更好地理解社会的复杂性。有了本文的基础，就可以开发一种模型来代表这些社区中妇女之间的联系。这样，该模式就可以支持旨在帮助冲突地区妇女的工作。
