Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 42
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Gender-sensitive responses to internal displacement require the full and equal participation of women in decision-making at all stages of displacement and in peacemaking processes. Such participation is essential to effectively promoting and protecting human rights, preventing rights violations, achieving durable solutions, and supporting sustainable peace processes, post-conflict reconstruction and development. Ongoing participatory needs assessments and "bottom-up" participatory planning processes are essential to overcoming the "implementation gap" between gender policies and effective practice, and ensuring that nationally and internationally supported protection interventions complement women's self-protection strategies and respond to their evolving needs and concerns.
