Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 45
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Beyond consultation and participation processes, mobilization of IDW to actively assert their rights can play a critical role in advancing and sustaining equitable assistance, protection and development strategies at the community level. In countries such as Colombia and Georgia, IDW have formed organizations to advocate for their rights at multiple levels, gaining important political skills and capacity to inform and advise other women facing human rights concerns. However, IDW who mobilize to defend their rights are often exposed to increased risks and threats, including SGBV perpetrated by State or non-State armed actors. National and international actors should document, monitor and ensure accountability for these violations and ensure comprehensive protection for these IDPs. Equally, these actors can support the development of such groups by encouraging their engagement in policy development and implementation processes, and by promoting access to training and opportunities to exchange experiences with other women involved in mobilization efforts. Moreover, the value of IDW mobilization may extend beyond the period of displacement, as community mobilization efforts establish women as active, equal citizens and leaders. Opportunities for young IDW to participate in mobilization processes are therefore of particular importance.
