  • "In our culture, women are being dominated. Not just in Sudan, but in all of Africa. Maybe people don't think we did much, because they see us as followers of the 'Lost Boys'." "But the fact remains ladies were there."
  • Few have thought to inquire about the fate of the "Lost Girls". Although an estimated 3,000 arrived in Kakuma in 1992, most have simply vanished from official records
  • "We have lost them... they are completely lost", Mr Mable says regretfully, "They have lost that status of lost girls. Some of them are mothers. They are married...There's nothing I can do - or anyone else can do" But it is clear that some of the 'Lost Girls' continue to suffer greatly.

    According to Sudanese culture, the girls could not be left alone and instead were placed with surviving family members or with other surviving families/adults. Also, when the US resettlement program was created in 1999, by that time, most of the girls had been living in the family units assigned them for 9-14 years and were no longer considered to be orphans. Therefore, they were not allowed for resettlement. However, many of the Lost Girls that did come to the US have now earned their college degrees and/or married. Some have returned to South Sudan and are working in the government of South Sudan and assisting in rebuilding their country. The lost girls are known to be having their normal lives.
