During conflict and displacement, large segments of a community often fall under the radar of laws that would otherwise safeguard their protection and well-being. Women and children are especially vulnerable and become the target of exploitation and sexual violence. Refugees and internally displaced women need better laws and governance to protect their rights.

The Expert Group Meetings will see proponents for better legislation and enforcement come together to discuss a framework for better guidelines for effective implementation and monitoring of legislation, as well defining areas of concern.

This will primarily include:

1) Gender violence
2) Economic opportunity
3) Education
4) Reproductive health
