Migration and forced displacement impact women and men differently. Gender roles and social norms lead to differing vulnerabilities and circumstances for men and women. Men and women will leave their home for a range of reasons: from leaving behind poverty, conflict and climate-related disasters to escaping entrenched gender inequalities, including sexual and gender-based violence and lack of access to livelihoods and resources. In transit or at their destination, it is important to ensure that gender norms do not continue to leave women and girls behind and that socioeconomic integration is gender-responsive and takes a human-rights centred approach.
