Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 61z
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions remain available options for internally displaced persons, including those in urban settings. The very nature of urban displacement, however, tends to lend weight to local integration as the viable choice preferred by internally displaced persons in urban areas. Informed by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendations made in his previous reports (A/HRC/19/54 and A/68/225) and adds the following recommendations to:] [International organizations, including humanitarian and development actors, and urban planners as relevant] Given the little knowledge on the impact of displacement on health and emotional well-being and its influence on urban dynamics, expand research on protection gaps and needs, especially those of internally displaced persons particularly at risk, including women, children and persons with disabilities.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 35
- Paragraph text
- There is therefore a pressing need for a more preventative approach to these challenges. In this regard, the Protocol on the Prevention and Suppression of Sexual Violence against Women and Children (2006) of the Great Lakes region and the model law annexed thereto, the 2011 Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence and the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women (Convention of Belém do Pará) provide some important entry points and examples in terms of legal frameworks. Fuel strategies and livelihood initiatives targeting displaced women and girls, and those at risk of displacement, are further practical measures which can be central to reducing exposure to sexual violence. Reducing vulnerability to sexual violence also entails ensuring that survivors have access to appropriate support, including reproductive and psychosocial services and that adequate resources are devoted to gender-sensitive site planning.

- Paragraph text
- All responses to internal displacement must recognize the particular dynamics of displacement and the profile of those displaced. In situations of conflict or violence, ethnic or religious minorities may be particularly affected and, consequently, the principles of equality and non-discrimination must be respected at all stages of the response and by all actors. Certain groups may be particularly vulnerable both during displacement and in displacement locations, including women and girls, children, older persons, persons with disabilities and the chronically ill. Responses must be sensitive to their needs and measures put in place to address specific protection concerns, including the need to protect women and girls from sexual violence (A/HRC/23/44).

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- In December 2014, the synthesis report of the Secretary-General on the post-2015 sustainable development agenda highlighted "gap issues", and included explicit references to internal displacement. It calls for a transformative shift away from business as usual and proposes six "essential elements": (a) dignity: to end poverty and fight inequalities; (b) people: to ensure healthy lives, knowledge and the inclusion of women and children; (c) prosperity: to grow a strong, inclusive, and transformative economy; (d) planet: to protect our ecosystems for all societies and our children; (e) justice: to promote safe and peaceful societies and strong institutions; (f) partnership: to catalyse global solidarity for sustainable development.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- Consultation, participation and information provision activities must engage widely with internally displaced persons, including women and female heads of households, young people, older persons and persons with disabilities. In-depth assessments, profiling and consultations help to reveal vulnerabilities, capacities and obstacles, essential to providing appropriate responses and durable solutions. Gathering data on those outside of camps has also proven extremely difficult, and there is a need to find creative solutions to ensure that they do not fall through protection and support nets. The Special Rapporteur's report on the issue to the Human Rights Council in 2012 notably focuses on addressing the causes of neglect of internally displaced persons outside camps through data collection.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Ongoing efforts in the context of Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008 )and 1888 (2009), which seek, inter alia, to strengthen women's participation in decision-making and their agency in conflict prevention, early recovery and governance, as well as in ending conflict related sexual violence and impunity, are important in the context of internal displacement. Equally relevant to the situation of women and girls in internal displacement situations are a number of other instruments, including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the fundamental guarantees provided for in international humanitarian law. Despite these frameworks, the international community has paid insufficient attention to the particular human rights situation and solutions for women and girls in the specific context of internal displacement. The Special Rapporteur proposes to devote particular attention to exploring the gender dimensions of internal displacement, including by strengthening links with the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other relevant bodies and organizations, in order to address the specific human rights violations and discriminatory practices which impact on women and girls at every stage of the displacement process, and by examining alternative solutions and prevention strategies which would be especially effective for them.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- Internally displaced persons in informal urban settlements typically reside in makeshift shelters, where they are barely protected from intruders and are exposed to the risk of sexual and gender-based violence. Urban displacement leads to changes in gender relations, thereby increasing risks of domestic violence, sexual and gender-based violence, survival sex, exploitation and forced labour. Access to protection and assistance for internally displaced women is vital.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- After visiting a number of countries affected by disaster-induced displacement, the Representative found that too often insufficient attention is paid to the multiple human rights challenges they face in these situations. The rights of persons displaced by natural disasters often suffer not only because of weaknesses in the disaster response but also because disaster preparedness and disaster mitigation measures were not adequately put into effect. Disaster induced displacement often exacerbates pre-existing patterns of discrimination, putting already marginalized and vulnerable groups at increased risk of human rights abuse. The result can be insufficient or inappropriate protection from threats caused by the effects of disaster; unequal access to humanitarian assistance, in particular for displaced women; discrimination in the provision of assistance; sexual and gender-based violence, particularly in collective shelters or camps; infringements of the right to education; non-replacement of lost, confiscated or destroyed documents; economic and sexual exploitation of children in the absence of sufficient assistance; unsafe or involuntary returns or forced relocations to other parts of the country; or failure to restore property and reconstruct houses or provide compensation.

- Paragraph text
- Moreover, experiences of crisis, conflict and displacement often challenge existing notions of gender. While uprooted, many women take on new roles as leaders and breadwinners, which they sustain after displacement by, for example, developing new businesses and promoting peaceful coexistence at the grassroots level. However, many women struggle to preserve these advances upon return or resettlement, as they are often pressured to revert to traditional gender roles. Such changed gender roles can lead to increased incidents of domestic violence, particularly when men return to their families and communities and are not able to resume their traditional roles as breadwinners and head of the family. Hence, the importance of actively engaging men in order to achieve equitable humanitarian assistance and enhancing IDW participation and protection. Additionally, displaced and returnee women may be disadvantaged with regard to housing rights, be unable to gain security of tenure, and are often marginalized in the negotiation of land claims. Those with disabilities may also face particular obstacles to accessing durable solutions, including extreme marginalization in decision-making processes, lack of appropriate transportation and inadequate services and pervasive discrimination in return and resettlement communities.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- In some cases, such as in Colombia, there are hundreds of associations of internally displaced persons, representing various communities of origin, women's groups or indigenous groups, among others. The Government has set up a consultative process with those associations that reaches out to such groups. The Government of Georgia has also engaged in widespread consultations with internally displaced persons (see A/HRC/26/33/Add.1). While not flawless, such processes represent a meaningful effort by Governments to consult internally displaced persons. Consultations can affect the attitude of the Government towards such persons, as was the case in Afghanistan. For example, until 2013, the authorities had not considered internally displaced persons to be permanent citizens of Herat, but, following the consultations, the political elites of the city now acknowledge the permanent settlement of those persons in the city. In a major breakthrough, the Government is now considering upgrading and regularizing the Maslakh settlement. Measures aimed at achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons can therefore yield positive results when internally displaced persons are treated not as objects, but as active participants in the search for, and implementation of, durable solutions.

- Paragraph text
- Despite attempts to mainstream attention to gender, age and other elements of diversity, room remains for stronger links between gender and generation-sensitive analyses and interventions in support of IDPs. This is especially the case for adolescent girls, young and older IDW. The ageing of the global population points towards the need to integrate gender and generation-sensitive approaches to internal displacement more systematically, given the growing proportion of elderly displaced women, including widows, with particular capacities and protection and assistance concerns. These concerns may be particularly pronounced when older IDW take on the role of caregivers to children whose parents have died or moved elsewhere. Similarly, displaced girls are burdened with heavy household responsibilities, including domestic chores, such as fetching water and firewood and caring for younger siblings. This often results in young girls missing out on schooling and exposes them to increased protection risks. There is also a need for more concerted attention to the particular risks and challenges faced by IDW and girls with disabilities, including ensuring full access to and inclusion in humanitarian programmes and recognizing their skills and capacities.

- Paragraph text
- In some situations, such as the Philippines, employment rates are in fact higher amongst IDW men, in part due to the fact that women benefit from greater freedom of movement because they are not seen as a threat by warring parties. IDW taking on new employment opportunities can result in increased tensions, particularly within families and between generations, as notions of pride, status and dignity are perceived to be challenged. These women may face increased pressure and strain, particularly if men do not shift roles to take on more domestic work. However, new livelihood opportunities can strengthen the confidence, leadership skills and influence of IDW. To maximize these benefits, the skills and resources of IDW should be fully recognized and more systematically supported. This entails rectifying the "pervasive biases", which, as the Secretary-General has highlighted, result in resources for initiatives such as post-conflict livelihoods programmes being directed "overwhelmingly towards men". Livelihood programmes for IDW should further be designed to be safe and sustainable, and protect women against unintended protection consequences, including elevated risks of SGBV.

The Special Rapporteur is presently supporting the work of the Committee as it develops a general recommendation on women in conflict and post-conflict situations, which he welcomes as it will contribute to the evolving protection framework.

- Paragraph text
- Despite these developments, in many cases responses to internal displacement still do not adequately address the concerns of women, who account for some 50 per cent of IDPs. As IDPs, women experience the various human rights challenges characteristic of displacement situations generally, and which often place IDPs at greater risk than most other affected populations. These frequently include: loss of livelihoods and key documentation, and lack of effective access to a number of important rights and services. Existing patterns of discrimination prevalent in many of these contexts are exacerbated during conflict and contribute to violations of women's rights to housing, land and property. IDW also often experience human rights challenges due to interlinked forms of discrimination based on gender, and intersection of gender with other factors such as age, group affiliation (e.g. membership in minority groups), disability, civil status, socioeconomic status and displacement itself. Particular groups or categories of IDW can therefore be especially at risk, while the particular risks encountered by IDW vary depending on the displacement context (e.g. emergency situations, protracted displacement situations, camp settings, etc.). The Council expressed "particular concern at the grave problems faced by many displaced women and children, including violence and abuse, sexual and labour exploitation, trafficking in persons, forced recruitment and abduction" (resolution 14/6). Other major human rights concerns include inequitable access to assistance, education, training and livelihoods; poor reproductive health care; and exclusion from decision-making processes.

- Paragraph text
- Modest - and not yet entrenched - advances have been achieved in integrating women into assistance distribution systems, and implementing fuel strategies to reduce displaced women's exposure to violence when they collect firewood. Limited gains in upholding housing, land and property rights of IDW have been achieved in some instances through measures such as the provision of legal aid to returnee women. Likewise, the participation of IDW in decision-making processes has increased in some countries, including through the development of strong associations of IDW, for example in Colombia and the Philippines. In 2011, UNHCR convened its second global dialogue with women and engaged IDW in this process for the first time. Despite persistent constraints, some progress has been made in collecting disaggregated data in conflict and post-conflict situations, including through the establishment of JIPS, which collects data disaggregated by age, sex and location, as well as other indicators such as the provision of protection of and assistance to IDW, their housing, land and property rights.

- Furthermore, in the absence of rule of law that characterizes many conflict and post-conflict contexts and where women's access to formal justice mechanisms may be compromised by lack of documentation, illiteracy and absence of or restricted access to judicial structures, it is important for the humanitarian community to engage with alternative dispute resolution processes (including customary, religious and local governance structures) to promote women's access to land and housing and resolve disputes over central issues such as inheritance. International development actors also have a critical role to play in working alongside national actors to respond to these concerns and support more concerted efforts to evaluate interventions and identify best practices in this field.

- Paragraph text
- A durable solution cannot be said to have been achieved if internally displaced persons cannot enjoy physical safety and security and cannot benefit from the effective protection of national and local authorities, including protection from the threats that triggered the initial displacement or that may cause renewed displacement. It is essential that national and local authorities pay specific attention to the protection of internally displaced persons, maintain monitoring mechanisms to ensure that internally displaced persons are not victims of further violations in their place of return, local integration or resettlement and ensure accountability by receiving complaints and addressing them. The specific protection needs of internally displaced women and girls should be given dedicated attention and it may be useful to appoint trained gender focal points in different sectors of the police and other law enforcement bodies.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Particular challenges face some people within internally displaced populations, including older persons, persons with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, or members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender community. Women are made particularly vulnerable by displacement, including to sexual or gender-based violence and other human rights violations, and consequently require specific protection measures. A key protection element is disaggregated data to provide an evidence base to build a profile of internally displaced persons and assess their needs according to their circumstances. Such data is often lacking and this gap reinforces the significance of the work carried out by bodies such as the Joint Internally Displaced Person Profiling Service (JIPS; see www.jips.org/en/home).

- The mandate has also played an essential role in mainstreaming the human rights of internally displaced persons within the United Nations system. Its participation in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee has been and continues to be a central platform for that mainstreaming role, as it continues to advocate for the integration of issues relating to internal displacement in Inter-Agency Standing Committee policies and operational strategies. Increased understanding and mainstreaming of those issues within the United Nations system has also been made possible through the mandate's partnerships and close engagement with United Nations agencies such as UNHCR, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and OHCHR, as well as the General Assembly and mechanisms of the Human Rights Council, such as other special procedure mandates and treaty bodies, for example, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the Human Rights Committee. Through its thematic reports and inputs to those bodies, the mandate has regularly highlighted the specific human rights dimensions of internal displacement and raised new or neglected aspects of the rights of internally displaced persons, such as their participation in peace processes, the impact on their human rights of larger phenomena such as climate change (A/66/285), the protection of persons in situations of natural disasters (A/HRC/16/43/Add.5), and the situation of internally displaced persons outside camps (A/HRC/19/54).
