Displacement 2009 Report:
"Even where women or children
were able to register as a head of family, they were reportedly unable to go to
distribution points because cultural traditions prohibited them from being in
public without a male family member."
"Children's schools were
attacked, particularly girls' schools; and children were otherwise caught in
the conflict that caused many to flee."
"The lack of recreational space
particularly affected girls, who were often kept in tents all day so they would
not be seen by unrelated males."
"The severe shortage of female
health care providers left many displaced females without health care,
while some women and girls may have stayed away from health facilities because
no male family member could accompany them."
*Adolescent girls had difficulty
with sanitary needs, finding themselves without rags or places to wash."
