Paragraph
Paragraph text
Women and girls can be especially vulnerable to forcible displacement, are at further risk during the displacement phase itself, and often remain exposed to serious human rights violations even once they have ostensibly found a solution to their displacement. This continuous vulnerability often stems from their pre-existing situation, as well as the more general social and economic status of women in the country and the community.
