This event is an official side event of Sixty-Sixth Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. The World Bank's Gender Dimensions of Forced Displacement (GDFD) program will present cutting-edge research findings which aim to do the following:
- Convey novel research from the GDFD program on the ways that gender inequality compounds the impacts of forced displacement in terms of multidimensional poverty, livelihoods, gender-based violence, and social norms.
- Review the research implications for policy design and implementation across the humanitarian-development nexus.
- Highlight the importance of data to inform programming. This research demonstrates that gender analysis is feasible with existing datasets, however a global push is needed to collect better data for evidence-based policy making.
