My research studied the widow’s village or Baan Rotan Batu, in Narathiwat province, which is one of the three Southern Border Provinces, and aimed to assess the peace and security situation in the ongoing conflict in that area.
Since 2004, there has been an increase in unrest in the three southern border provinces. Then, there is a threat to human security in the area facing the unrest and those living in the areas of suspicion. There is uncertainty in the safety of life and property, as well as stress and fear in such situations. The unrest situation affects women and families. Women are becoming widows, particularly widows who are responsible for being single parents. These women act as both parents, including caring for the elderly in the family.
