Cet article s'appuie sur une recherche ethnographique auprès des réfugiés Zande sud-soudanais dans le camp de réfugiés de Kiryandongo, en Ouganda, pour montrer une perspective différente et souvent négligée : celle des femmes réfugiées âgées. Ayant vécu des décennies de guerre et de déplacement, ces femmes ont développé un riche corpus de connaissances sur la souffrance, l’adaptation et la résilience.
