Following the conflict, a disarmament, demobilization, rehabilitation and reintegration process began. The process aimed to ensure women's participation and address their special needs. In reality, the programme failed meet the needs of a large number of women and girls. Thousands of women and girls didn't participate in the process for reasons such as misinformation about the process, and manipulation by commanders.
