우간다 여성의 빈곤한 삶에 관한 질적연구: 일상적으로 제한된 우간다 여성들의 임파워먼트에 대하여

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to understand Ugandan women's limited empowerment better to increase ODA interventions' effectiveness in Uganda. Originality: For this purpose, this study used a qualitative method, which the researchers believe to be vital in gaining an in-depth understanding of Ugandan women's limited empowerment, focusing on the emotions and experiences in the daily lives rather than using quantitative national statistics or surveys as earlier studies have. Methodology: A generic qualitative research method was used to conduct 1:1 in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview questions composed of pilot-focused group interviews. The interviewees were selected through purposive sampling, and the data analysis used the 10-step data analysis procedure of the generic qualitative research method. Result: Analysis of the interview transcript shows the following two facts: 1) the limited empowerment of Ugandan women manifested itself in four different forms; 2) certain aspects of the limited empowerment are universally shared by all women, but some aspects manifest differently based on the areas of residence. Conclusions and Implication: The researchers make three recommendations: ‘increased social service accessibility and changes to land ownership laws to include women,’ ‘designating men as the target group for women's empowerment intervention,’ and ‘establishment of research focused on the perspective of ODA fieldwork and related participants.’
