Gender Dimensions of Forced Displacement

Our fifth seminar, Gender Dimensions of Forced Displacement, showcased the launch of the World Bank Group’s yearlong Gender Equality and Development +10: Accelerate Equality initiative, which explores the important progress made and lessons learned in reducing gender gaps and increasing women’s economic empowerment over the last 10 years, and takes stock of remaining challenges, while strengthening partnerships with a diverse group of stakeholders in the quest to #AccelerateEquality. This high-level event brought together researchers, practitioners, civil society and leaders, sharing new results from the GDFD program, reviewing implications for policy design, and shedding light on the importance of embedding principles of gender equality within the development of durable solutions to forced displacement.
