description

Presented by World Bank Today 80 million people have been forcibly displaced, and most live among poor communities in developing countries. During displacement, families are often separated, assets and livelihoods are lost or disrupted, and women face higher risks of intimate partner violence. But access to social services and employment may be better than in their places of origin. The experience of displacement, as well as the barriers and opportunities displaced people face, differ strongly between women and men. However, surprisingly little is known about these gendered dimensions of displacement. This session presents novel research findings from the first concerted World Bank effort to uncover the gendered dimensions of forced displacement (GDFD). It engages panelists drawn from governments, international organizations and CSOs on the implications for policy and programming. This event is part of the World Bank Group’s yearlong Gender Equality and Development +10: Accelerate Equality initiative, which explores the important progress made and lessons learned over the last 10 years in closing gender gaps and promoting girl's and women's empowerment and drives for transformative change in the future. It provides an opportunity to showcase successes, learn, and develop ideas and further momentum for the future of gender equality and women’s leadership, while taking stock of remaining challenges and strengthening partnerships in the quest to #AccelerateEquality.
