This view drastically alters the understanding of the situation of the Ugandan abductees, as represented in the documentary Invisible Children.

An understanding of the true ills at work in the society that produce and perpetuate this rebel element must be achieved before the situation can be ended, and this understanding must come on emotional level in addition to -- and perhaps even instead of -- an intellectual level.
Rather than attempting to face the rebels in open conflict, which is the traditional military/governmental method and what is called for by the ethics of justice, ethics of care would deal more directly with the results of the rebels' actions. Building stronger communities with greater senses of shared responsibility for individual success would make it more difficult for the rebels to abduct children in the first place, serving to interrupt the cycle of brutal oppression that has existed for decades.
