Studies show that refugee and displaced women are treated differently from men and are also affected differently by conflict and displacement. They have special concerns stemming from their special experiences. Displaced women and girls face such challenges as malnutrition ; shelter ; reproductive health, including childbirth and family planning ; rape and sexual abuse ; relocation stress ; role strains and role change ; family separation ; and perceived hopelessness. This report summarizes the views on assisting displaced women in conflict and post-conflict situations presented at the UNFPA Expert Meeting and Workshop on Displaced Women, held in Hammamet, Tunisia, 21-24 June 2007. The first goal of the meeting was to bridge the gap between knowledge and policies regarding women’s protection needs -- or gender-specific protection issues relating to displacement and migration in conflict and emergency settings, as well in post-conflict resettlement. The second goal was to identify specific means for the integration of emergency-related programming into the mainstream of UNFPA work.
