Gender Dynamics in Internal Displacement
2023
This report from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) explores the intersection between a person’s gender and the challenges, risks, and inequities faced as a displaced person. The report finds that internal displacement amplifies existing gender inequities and that gendered differences exist between male, female, and LGBTIQ+ displaced persons in their ability to find and make a livelihood, ensure personal health and safety, access education, and find safe housing. The report aims to improve understanding of how gender dynamics affect the experiences of displaced people and discuss how policy addressing internal displacement might be more inclusive and responsive to the specific needs of displaced populations. The report also highlights the need for more data that is disaggregated by gender and sexual orientation to better monitor the intersecting risks and measure progress.
