N2  - Stigma due to sexual violence includes family rejection, a complex outcome including economic, behavioral and physical components. We explored the relationship between conflict-related trauma, family rejection and mental health in adult women living in rural eastern DRC who participate in a livestock based microfinance program, Pigs for Peace. Exposure to multiple and different types of conflict-related trauma, including sexual assault, was associated with higher increased likelihood of family rejection, which in turn was associated with poorer mental health outcomes. Design of appropriate and effective interventions will require understanding family relationships and exposure to different types of trauma in post-conflict environments.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
