- Gender, conflict and emergencies
- By clarifying the risks leading to displacement, risk factors during displacement and risks that inhibit safe and sustainable return, this study looks at protection solutions in the context of both displacement and in situations of return. In particular, tools are presented for assessing risks and for identifying good field practices that reduce the risks that displaced and returnee women and girls confront.
