Female forced returnees experienced the following psychosocial reintegration challenges: depression and stress due to previous and current situation, misconception from the community, pressure from community including family and friend, social isolation, loss of family care and support, and conflict among returnees. The returnees also face the following economic reintegration challenges: difficulty of generating sustainable challenges, insufficient of skill training, lack of market, lack of access to loan and exaggerated interest rate, and lack of feasible training course. Moreover the returnee‟s reintegration challenges were affected by lack of timeliness of reintegration support and decline of follow up and technical support.
