Under a tree in Liberia, I sit with six giggling women. They are
internally displaced people, or IDPs, and they think I've lost my
mind. My translator, Marline, who is also an IDP, is trying to
translate my question: "What do you do when you're a refugee and you
get your period?"
Marline asks me to repeat the question, makes sure she understands,
and then translates. "She want to know," she says, in lilting Liberian
patois, "what you do when you receive" - and she raises her hands
heavenwards - "and you runnin'?" Refugees have no time for linguistic
niceties. Displaced, refugee, IDP - all it means is running,
literally, for years.
