Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 32
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Despite these advances, the Special Rapporteur finds that a host of challenges remain, from implementing equitable documentation practices to systematically training Government officials, security actors and field staff in gender approaches, raising awareness of communities, especially host communities, about IDPs to avoid double stigmatization of displaced women (as IDPs and as women) and engaging women in early warning systems and disaster preparedness strategies. He finds that overcoming the "implementation gap" that curtails the practical impact of the frameworks developed to protect, assist and support the leadership role of IDW possibly represents the greatest obstacle. Beyond this, he below some of the key challenges faced by IDW, and which are notable for their strategic significance, or because they reflect important longstanding, neglected or emerging problems.
