The Impact of Displacement on Gender Roles and Relations: The case of IDPs from FATA, Pakistan
Summary
The study shows how the lives of women and girls have been limited and controlled by a network of different factors – social, legal, cultural, economic, physical geography, etc. – which interact to create a set of gender rules that ‘fit’ with those factors. Looking at how displacement caused fundamental changes in various factors (physical geography, economics, social imperatives, etc.) allows an understanding of how it was possible for a new logic of gender rules to emerge that fit the new circumstances.
