‘Who holds the microphone?’ Crisis-affected women’s voices on gender-transformative changes in humanitarian settings

This research aims to capture the voices, lived experiences and testimonies of communities affected by refugee and displacement crises regarding gender-transformative change processes, meaningful participation and effective localization. The central contention of this report is simple and a fundamental in UN Women humanitarian support, that the voices of crisis-affected women, often not heard as a result of gender and social norms, should resonate loudly and clearly in spaces where decisions about their lives are made.
