"As this Handbook illustrates,
in every country and community in which UNHCR works, women and girls are less
likely than men and boys to have access to even the most fundamental of their
rights, such as food, health care, shelter or documentation. Girls are less
likely than boys to attend school; instead they spend their time burdened with
domestic chores."
"Violence against women and
girls is endemic, not only in conflict, but during its aftermath, as women and
girls try to re-establish their daily lives. Such human rights violations are
not only a result of displacement; they are directly related to the violence
women and girls endure during times of peace."
