Premised on the assumption that gender roles
and relations shape the process of empowerment, this guide provides practical
examples of empowerment from case studies in Kosovo, Tanzania, Guatemala,
Colombia, Guinea, Turkey and Algeria.
Five dimensions of women's empowerment are
considered; access, conscientization, mobilization, control and gender
equality mainstreaming.
Collectively, the Good Practices advanced
aim to provide important lessons learned for current and future UNHCR initiatives
with refugee, internally displaced and returnee populations that seek to
promote gender equality.
