Gendering Space for Forcibly Displaced Women and Children: Concepts, Policies and Guidelines

The provision of shelter and settlement is a basic need in all societies and their loss, destruction and replacement provide iconic images of conflict, forced migration and return. This chapter reviews these issues from the perspective of women and families, drawing on a wide range of published and grey literature, agency reports and the research and field experience of the authors.
