Women and girls suffer disproportionately from forced displacement facing gender-specific challenges in staying safe, finding jobs, and accessing adequate services. Finding effective, equitable and gender transformative solutions to these challenges is critical to empower displaced women and promote their resilience during and after displacement.

On October 26, 2023 AIR hosted a webinar exploring innovative and effective approaches to addressing women’s issues in forced displacement settings. A panel of experts from AIR, academia, and NGOs presented various programmatic models and policy approaches and engage in a crucial discussion about emerging topics and continued challenges.
