@mirandainez collected original data & conducted lab-in-the-field experiments:
‼️Poor mental health of abducted women ⬆️ victimization
‼️Low social status associated w/ abduction ⬆️
‼️Shared history of trauma ⬆️ empathy & ⬇️ violence

🚨Some of @mirandainez’s most striking findings are:
1) Women who were abducted as children are between 50 and 100% more likely to be victims of severe violence
2) Having a spouse who shares the abduction trauma mitigates the risk of severe violence
Why? [3/n]

As many boys & girls were abducted in Uganda in the 80s and 90s but later returned, @mirandainez is able to look at how own & partner’s trauma interact in determining IPV.
Through fieldwork in a very difficult setting she studies married abducted/not-abducted men & women.[2/n]
