Abstract
This chapter analyses the development of academic and policy attention to ‘women’ and ‘gender’ in forced migration contexts,highlighting the transition from document-ing the particularities of female experiences, to a re-evaluation of the multiple ways in which processes of and responses to forced migration influence gender identities, roles, and relations.
