Abstract
In 2007, the Women, Peace, and Security Committee of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Center for International Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) collaborated to produce a series of research papers on the needs of women displaced by conflict. These papers provided policy action recommendations for UNFPA and its partners based on current empirical research, comparative analysis, and policy reviews. The recommendations, and the analysis that inspired them, aim to help UNFPA increase the effectiveness of its programming on urgent issues in the nexus of women, conflict, and forced migration. In particular, they offer insights into how UNFPA can address the ways shelter, livelihoods, legal status, and mental health relate to the issues that comprise UNFPA’s core mandate, namely, reproductive health, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and HIV/AIDS.
