Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 36
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The challenges posed by unequal and discriminatory access to education, health services or employment are protection risks regularly faced by internally displaced persons in urban areas and may sometimes be compounded by the lack of individual documentation. The loss or lack of documentation in urban contexts can further exacerbate the already-dire situation of internally displaced persons, given that, without identification, it is generally impossible to sign a lease, seek formal employment or even gain legitimate access to a mobile telephone or the Internet. In some countries, such as Côte d'Ivoire, internally displaced persons are put at risk of statelessness. This situation also increases the chances of being arrested, being forced to pay a bribe and intimidation and renders access to health care, education and other services more difficult.
