Poverty, gender, and displacement: a policy brief

This policy brief presents findings from a World Bank’s research programme focused on gendered dimensions of forced displacement and poverty. It looks at how poverty intersects with gender and forced displacement and outlines implications for policy, programmes and data collection. It explains the importance of the context and the impact it has on efforts to promote economic opportunities and livelihoods, social protection, combatting intimate partner violence or access to services like health and education.
