This article focuses on Kurdish women in Iraq who survived the Iraqi army's Anfal operations against the Kurdish areas in 1988. It investigates Iraqi Kurdish women's psychosocial situation and strategies for coping with violence and loss in the aftermath of the Anfal operations. These strategies are largely shaped by social and economic factors and gender relations and in the traditional patriarchal context of rural Kurdish society. The article further explores the transformation of the women's situation and narratives through the recent political changes in Iraq and shows the conflict between their memories, narratives, and agency, on one hand, and the hegemonic discourse on victimhood in Kurdistan-Iraq today, on the other, as well as the interweaving of their individual coping strategies and the institutional processes for dealing with the past in Kurdistan and Iraq. Thus the paper contributes to socially and politically contextualized and gender-sensitive trauma research, as well as to the larger political and sociological debate on reconciliation processes after war and conflict.

"Der Beitrag behandelt die anhaltenden Auswirkungen der Gewalt des Baath-Regimes. Angesichts ausbleibender Unterstützung und Anerkennung sowie politischer Instrumentalisierung entfremden sich die Opfer vom politischen Prozess." (Autorenreferat)
