Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 37
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Early recovery is a vital element of an effective response to internal displacement as it aims at crisis recovery from the humanitarian phase onwards, resilience-building and development opportunities, and can encourage social change. As such, it presents important opportunities to promote gender equality in the context of internal displacement. However, these opportunities are often lost because gender issues are given low priority in emergency contexts, as well as during the recovery phase. The Special Rapporteur underlines that failure to include gender perspectives early in decision-making processes can have long-lasting impacts on IDW, particularly in the context of governance structures, and policies and practices, which can reinforce existing socioeconomic disparities between men and women.
