Question:
What are the specific vulnerabilities women and girls face, and/or specific opportunities open to them, in forced and protracted displacement?
Summary:
There is general consensus in this grey and academic literature on the vulnerabilities faced by women and girls in forced and protracted displacement, although less is known about the opportunities they may have and the long-term impacts. Much of the recent evidence available focuses on displaced populations in Europe and countries neighbouring Syria. There is more of a focus on refugees than internally displaced persons, although forcible displacement appears to result in similar vulnerabilities for both populations.
