This report draws on the experiences of the Norwegian Refugee Council’s (NRC) programme of work focused on strengthening displaced women’s rights to housing, land and property.

Drawing on insights and experiences from NRC’s legal assistance programmes in Afghanistan, Ecuador, Lebanon, Liberia, Palestine (Gaza), and South Sudan, this report presents common themes, challenges, and positive results for displaced women. Key recommendations to be taken at the international level are outlined at the end, for NGOs, UN agencies, and donors.

This report was written and published by the Norwegian refugee Council (NRC), with support from the UK Department for International development (DFID) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NMFA).
